“Trick-or-Treat” Events In and Around San Antonio

Growing up, Halloween gave me a high expectation that has stayed with me in my adult life: the joy of freebies! I love trying those delicious samples at the grocery store. And as a mom, I now get to pass on the joy of grabbing freebies to my child. No time of year is better for it thank Halloween! Check out our list of trick or treat events taking place in and around San Antonio this October, and be sure to let us know if any are missing.

Mostly found with a large unsweet tea or iced Americano in hand at The Pearl, Yanaguana at the Hemisfair, side lines of games in Floresville, or exploring the trails of the San Antonio river.
