BEST Fall & Halloween Events in South Florida for Kiddos & Parents


I’m pretty sure Halloween is the best content creator holiday EVER. We get to write about the best Halloween events in South Florida and Boca Raton, decorating, cooking (PUMPKINS!), costumes and showcase adorable photos of our kids dressed up as all sorts of cute things. Pre-baby, #modernbocadad and I used to rock the “couples costumes”. Oh yes! Our great friends throw an epic Halloween party each year, so I always felt like we really needed to work hard to come up with a great outfit! I’m pretty confident we succeeded.
