While the countdown to the spooky season is long – often months and months – the actual Halloween season passes by so quickly that sometimes we swear we’ve got whiplash. We have so many fun things to do that we really have to schedule our time just right, so we can pack it all in. Even if your schedule is jam-packed, you’ll probably want to add something else – a trip to the best Halloween town in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island’s dotted with charming pumpkin patches and brimming with fun Halloween activities, but one town (well, technically, city) earns top billing when it comes to the best place to celebrate the spooky season: Providence.
