Halloween in Austin








There are a million different ways to celebrate in Austin for Halloween! On some years we've gone downtown to 6th street for the ultimate costume viewing experience. Our favorite spot to get a drink and dinner is at Iron Cactus on the balcony which has a great view of everyone dressed up below. You'll take in some wild, creative costumes downtown.

Another popular event this year was the The Zombie Ball which featured live music, a fashion show, light show and DJ's. And of course Austin is filled with Haunted Houses!

If you've got kiddos, each neighborhood usually has their own trick or treat event. Usually it's held at a school or church and it allows all of the kids to come together and have a great time while getting candy in a safe environment.

This year I spent most of my time at Pumpkin carving parties although my husband Merritt was the one to actually do all the carving, thanks honey! Halloween night we had a good group of trick or treaters and my parents brought over some great decorations complete with spooky music. Halloween seems to become a bigger and bigger event with each year!
