We have already felt the drop in temperatures, which means Halloween will be here before we know it! So, I have asked around and found out the town favorites for trick-or-treating in Birmingham and surrounding areas. Whether it’s good candy, sidewalks, or well-lit streets, you are sure to find a place you and your kids will enjoy spending your Halloween night.
Calera
Waterford Village and Villas is a great community to visit in Calera for trick-or-treating. The neighborhood includes streetlights and sidewalks on both sides of the street, so you will not find yourself too spooked on Halloween night.
Chelsea
Courtyard Manor
While this is a smaller subdivision of 40 or so homes, the treats are not limited to full-size candy bars. You may even get some toys, cotton candy, or $1 bills. The neighborhood does have some hills, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring a stroller or wagon for the kiddos.
Helena
Hillsboro
In Helena, there are a few neighborhoods that come to mind for Halloween. Hillsboro’s sidewalks and well-llit streets will make trick-or-treating easy for everyone. If their Halloween decorations are anything like their Christmas decorations, they go all out.
Old Cahaba
Old Cahaba has a ton of homes to visit, as well. The night will be very festive as you are sure to see many people riding around in golf carts lit with purple and orange lights. There is plenty of fun to go around in this neighborhood!
Homewood
Edgewood
Homewood has always been a charming place, and you will enjoy spending your Halloween in Edgewood.
The streets around Oxmoor and the Homewood library
We are even told that the walkable streets around Oxmoor and the Homewood library have great trick-or-treat goodies.
Hoover
Bluff Park Halloween Trail
The Bluff Park Halloween Trail is by the pool/playground in Bluff Park. You will love the elaborate decorations and enjoy some great trick or treating.
The Preserve
Another great place to trick or-treat in Hoover is The Preserve. With almost 800 homes, The Preserve will have plenty of treats handed out on Halloween Night. Plus, if you don’t get full on candy, you can finish the night eating dinner at local restaurants off Preserve Parkway.
McCalla
Letson Farms in McCalla loves to celebrate Halloween. Their streetlights are replaced with colorful pumpkin lanterns to celebrate the season. With well-lit sidewalks, you will find this neighborhood great for trick-or-treating. You are certain to score some sweet treats at some of the 645 homes, here!
Moody
If you are in the Moody area, you need to check out Kelly Creek Gardens. They have sidewalks, and families come in by the truckload to visit. You and your kids will love seeing all of these homes decked out in Halloween décor.
Mt. Laurel
Mt. Laurel is another great location to visit for Halloween night. You can expect fun decorations and great candy as you wind down the sidewalks.
Of course, there are plenty of other amazing neighborhoods to visit around Birmingham. If you have any favorites, make sure to comment and let us know where and why you love trick-or-treating there!
