Halloween Austin

The global pandemic has affected so many of this year's activities and traditions, forcing many closures and alterations.

However, there are still activities happening all across the area to help celebrate the spooky holiday season.

No matter how you'll be celebrating this year, make sure you're staying safe with proper social distancing and the use of facial coverings

Here are some things to do in the Austin area this fall:
