Now that fall has finally arrived, it’s never too early to start thinking of your Halloween plans for this year, although there doesn’t seem much to do in Boston on Halloween other than going bar hopping. Believe it or not, there are many alternatives for us teenagers that are under 21! Here are 5 creative ideas you can do with your friends to have a fun October 31st.
1. Touring the city of Boston with your friends is always a great and memorable experience. The Boston Ghost and Graveyard Tour is a great way to sightsee. These tours take place all throughout October, but what better day to go than Halloween night? Adventure through the oldest burial grounds in the city while hearing creepy stories about the ghosts that haunt the streets. To see videos, pictures and prices, visit the website here.

3. Have a party of your own! Invite your friends and make some festive and tasty treats. Try some of these yummy recipes:
Candy Corn Punch– This festive and colorful drink only requires three ingredients! If you love candy corn I would seriously recommend giving this one a try.
Graveyard Chocolate Cheesecake dip– Cute and fun to eat! Most of these ingredients you can find around your house and it only takes minutes to make.
Mini Caramel Apples– Who doesn’t love a classic caramel apple? These easy and fun bite size treats are perfect for a small get together or movie night.

Sink in all the witchcraft at the multiple museums and historic sites the town has to offer. Wear your best costume and participate in various walking tours, hay rides and parades.
