Recently, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced that traditional trick-or-treating should be avoided due to the pandemic. Similarly, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deemed it a high-risk activity. And while trick-or-treating may be a no-go, it doesn’t mean you have to forget about Halloween festivities altogether. There are lots of great alternatives to trick-or-treating, including Happily Haunted Gardens. A beloved annual affair, it includes thousands of twinkling lights, activities, goodie bags, and more.

There’s a lot to love about Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan, including its annual Halloween celebration, Happily Haunted Gardens.
