It’s almost Halloween and things are being done a bit different this year. Many neighborhoods are opting out of traditional Trick-Or-Treating and many families will not even be purchasing costumes for Halloween. However, despite all of the tricks this year has thrown at us all, there are still some treats to be had! Several areas around the Grand Strand have crafted safe and socially distanced events to keep the fun and spooky Halloween spirit alive and well! Check out these 10 Halloween and Fall events going on across the Grand Strand within the next couple of weeks to celebrate Halloween.

This event is a family-friendly Fall Festival with ongoing dates around Conway. There is a daily Pumpkin Patch by Thompson Farm, events by Heros 4 Hire, and the first ever “Scarecrow’s Row”.
