It’s the spookiest time of the year, and Tampa knows how to celebrate. From haunted ships to ghost tours on a water taxi, and a giant horror theme park, Tampa offers a variety of thrilling experiences, including the iconic Nightmare on Franklin Street. These spine-tingling activities are just a few reasons why Tampa was named one of the top cities to celebrate Halloween by Wallethub in 2023.
The Wallethub survey evaluated cities based on Trick-or-Treater friendliness, an abundance of Halloween events for both kids and adults, and the ideal Halloween weather. With attractions like Florida’s largest pumpkin at Bearss Groves and spooky movie screenings under the stars in a pumpkin patch, it’s clear why Tampa secured a spot in the top 30 Halloween cities.
