With Halloween falling on a Friday in 2025, we’re not sure why so many businesses and organizations planned their Halloween events the week before the holiday. Don’t get us wrong, we’re more than happy to celebrate the holiday for nearly two weeks straight.

Unfortunately, the weather didn’t really cooperate for the events happening October 25–26. Some groups decided to cancel or postpone their events. Others, like the YMCA Halloween Run, decided the show must go on. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people hung around after the run despite the showers getting heavier and the grass getting muddier.

Weather was still a factor in making costume decisions before going downtown, even though the run and Halloween parties were nearly 12 hours apart. Unsure of how long the lines would be and if the showers would pick back up again, I decided to bring a poncho just in case I had to protect my clip-in extensions while standing in line. It was also cold enough that I had to wear a jacket over the costume, which was surprisingly just as annoying at 37 as it was at age four.
