Actually, I know plenty of people who had parties for the occasion this past weekend, which is almost two weeks before the day actually comes. There was already a full Halloween parade in Denver as well. 

There’s plenty of more ways to get into the spooky mood as well.

For example, you can check out the many different fantastic haunted corn mazes throughout the state, like Anderson Farms’ famous Terror in the Corn

This all begs the question: Compared to the rest of the country, what Colorado cities are the best for Halloween?

Each year, the good people over at WalletHub create a list to try to find which cities are the best for Halloween in the United States. 

They rank each city based on trick-or-treat friendliness, fun, and weather. They then give out a final score after combining all the categories.

Once they crunched all the numbers, they found that Colorado Springs is the best place for Halloween in Colorado, with a total score of 46.80. 

While it didn’t rank particularly high in the other categories, WalletHub ranks it as the second best for Halloween weather in the country.

With all this being said, though, the highest ranked city in the state only comes in at 40th on their list.

Denver is at 61st while Aurora sits all the way down at 91st, making it the ninth worst city analyzed in the study.

According to the study, if you want to have the best Halloween experience possible, you’ll want to head to the Big Apple.

New York took the top spot with a final score of 71.83, ranking second in trick-or-treat friendliness and third in Halloween fun.

On the flip side, the lowest rated city out of the 100 analyzed was Memphis, Tennessee, which seems to always be at the bottom of these lists.

While its other ratings aren’t too bad, it has the worst trick-or-treat friendliness in the country. At the end of the day, if your town isn’t good for trick-or-treating, then it’s probably not amazing for Halloween.
