St. Louis Area Halloween Events and Parties to Check Out This Weekend

With everyone at different comfort levels in the pandemic, Halloween plans are tough this year. If you want to stay in and watch a scary movie, that's totally cool. Maybe you want to go out and watch a movie -- we know where to find that, too. But, if you want to venture out a little, there are plenty of events happening around St. Louis this Hallo-weekend.

Don your chosen costume, grab a mask and hit the town; there are quite a few places this year that will get you in the Halloween spirit. Whether it's Union Station or a winery, each spot can help you celebrate the end of spooky season in a safe and fun way.

Here are the ones to check out this weekend, but if you're in more of an overall fall kind of mood, we have a list for that, too.
