Spooky season swept the cobblestone streets of the Beacon Hill neighborhood over Halloween weekend. Residents and neighbors went all out with their Halloween decorations, covering their doorways and entrances with everything from professionally carved pumpkins to giant cobwebs and life-size skeletons in preparation for Oct. 31 trick-or-treaters.
The city closed off Mount Vernon and Pinckney streets Oct. 31 as the frightening holiday attracted large crowds of parents, children and college students in costume. Even when it’s not Halloween, Beacon Hill is flooded with fall foliage, making it a bucket list destination for locals and visitors.
One resident told The Huntington News she gives out about 1,500 pieces of candy on the big night. She wished the rest of the world was as lively and decorated as Beacon Hill on Halloween. Beacon Hill is known as one of Boston’s hotspots for trick or treating, and visiting it is a great way to get into the fall spirit. The neighborhood welcomes visitors from around the world to see the hidden gems of the historic brownstones and brings together families and friends of all ages.
