It’s unclear when Halloween festivities started stretching out across multiple weekends, but we’re okay with it. There are plenty of ways to get your spook on this week that are totally different from any of last weekend’s events.
One event that didn’t make our official list down below but is always a fun time is the Nevada Day Parade in Carson City. There’s an entire day of festivities following the parade, which kicks off at 10 a.m. Get details at https://nevadaday.com/.
