WalletHub found Sacramento was the 18th best place to have “Halloween Fun,” which they measured through Halloween parties, costume and candy stores, haunted houses, farms and pumpkin patches, amusement parks and more per capita. 

The city’s rating only went down because Sacramento was rated 48 in “Trick-or-Treating Friendliness,” which was measured by population density, walkability, crime and safety ratings, and potential of trick-or-treaters among other things per capita. 

An estimated $12.2 billion will be spent celebrating this year with the average household spending about $109, according to WalletHub.
