With the country opening back up, Halloween 2021 might be one of the first holidays since the pandemic that Americans feel they can fully enjoy without (most) restrictions. Halloween originated as a Celtic festival where attendees would dress up in costume to ward off ghosts while celebrating the end of the harvest season in what is now Ireland. Since then, America has sort of claimed it as its own. It’s the largest country after China that celebrates the spooky holiday, according to World Population Review.

The beauty of Halloween is that it has a little something for everyone. From trick or treating as a child to attending bar crawls during college and eventually being the one handing out candy as a parent, there’s a reason and a way to celebrate old Hallows Eve from the crib to the grave. Cities across America pull out all of the stops for the festive day. Whether you’re looking for some adult fun or family-friendly activities, we’ve got you covered with these interesting Halloween events happening across the country.

Dia De Los Muertos at Hollywood Forver Cemetery

While the event itself isn’t entirely terrifying, it does take place on the grounds of the iconic and spooky Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Families with children can attend the daytime event for a cheerier version of this ticketed event celebrating Dia De Los Muertos, and those who dare can buy tickets for the nighttime event and enjoy food vendors, altars, arts and crafts and live performances amidst real gravestones.
