Halloween is on a Friday this year, which means celebrations will stretch into the weekend in Rhode Island. Adding to the fun, Halloween won’t fall on a Friday again until 2031.

There’s still time to get in on the Halloween fun at haunted houses, costume parties, ghost tours, and even “smashing pumpkin” events at the zoo.

Below, we’ve rounded up five Halloween events to appeal to a variety of tastes.
