2. Fun Runs
Run with zombies and fight for your lives, this theme in Dallas awaits you. Aside from the idea of these fun runs to be as exhilarating as possible, you know it will be great to sneak some cardio into your Halloween activities. One of the events you can attend is at Haunt Jaunt Nighttime 5K and Fun Run happening on October 20th, at Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve.
The organizers provided a goal for locals to enjoy Halloween in a way that is very close to nature. The trail will include paved park trails, streets, and areas that showcase the beauty of Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve. Children are also invited to join. For each child registered for the fun run, one free adult entry will be granted. How exciting, huh?!

3. Haunted House Tours
Spot ghosts before they spot you. Dallas is holding tons of Haunted House tours this Halloween and there are literally a lot of choices. Each tour offers a distinct experience to attendees and organizers are making sure they have the greatest ideas to keep visitors coming in. One of these tours, to be held at the Cutting Edge Haunted House, will house guests to one of the largest venues in the city with an eerily realistic setup alongside live actors, life-size mannequins and special effects certain to freak you out.
Actors are also playing a part in another tour at Dark Hour Haunted House, a venue that follows a manor-style design to feature animatronics, Broadway-inspired sets, and a tour around the witches’ coven. There are more haunted house tours but we would not hang you gaping without this one, a Japanese-themed haunted house attraction at Dan’s Haunted House. The tour is bound to feature characters from Japanese folklore.
4. Masquerade Parties
Perhaps the lighter side of Halloween with less scary costumes is your idea of a celebration. How about joining the fun at a masquerade party? If you are the type of Halloween enthusiast who likes it lyrical, classy and sophisticated, you might want to attend one of these masquerade balls. Enjoy breathtaking views of the skyline right at the rooftop in W Dallas Rooftop Halloween Night Masquerade. Drinks will be served and over 400 people are expected to attend.
If you are up for a 19th century-inspired masquerade party on the other hand, then this Masquerade Bash at Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture is for you. Built in 1892, the venue is continually restored to stand strong and host parties like this. Winners of best in costume will be announced in these categories: sexiest costume, scariest costume, funniest costume, and group costume.

5. Pumpkin Events
Now, downplaying a little bit more for activities that the entire family can enjoy, check out Dallas’ pumpkin-related events this Halloween. There will be pumpkin carve-offs with underwater creatures, as well as pumpkin festivals happening around town.
Get your imagination ready in Autumn at the Arboretum, named one of “America’s best pumpkin festivals” by Fodor’s Travel and part of Architectural Digest’s “World’s 15 Most Breathtaking Gardens.” This fall festival is a spectacular show of color with 4,500 of fall's favorite flower-Chrysanthemums, along with 150,000 more stunning, fall blooming plants. It runs from September to October.
Then, just a few minutes drive from Dallas is the city of Mesquite where PumpkinFest 2018 is happening. Parents and children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite storybook character. There will be a pumpkin pie eating contest, best in costume prizes, carnival games, food vendors, trick or treating, and community stage performers.
