Halloween weekend is upon us! So for now, I hope to relieve the stress and questions of “Where should I go with my teen?” or “What events should I trust my teen to attend?”
Below is a list of Miami’s Halloween events from cheapest to more expensive, so you and your teen can make awesome plans for this year!
Free Events:
Halloween on the Mile – Tuesday, October 31st from 4:00PM – 7:00PM
Miracle Mile celebrates their 20th year celebrating Halloween on the Mile for all ages. Bring your teen, younger children, and dog to trick or treat, enjoy arts & crafts, and a doggie costume contest.

Halloween Spooktacular at Sunset Place – Tuesday, October 31st from 4:00 PM – 7:00PM
Sunset Place is offering a Monster Mash Dance Party, Spooky candy stations, and more. Although this may be too “kiddy” for your teen, if you have younger children this may be a good starter for the night before your teen attends a friend’s house or another event. Not to mention, Sunset place also has a bowling alley (Splitsville) and GameTime for a family fun night out!
