Who Won?

Judging took place the evenings of Oct. 22 and 23, and the city plans to announce the winners by 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26. We will add the winners to this page once they are out.

Tips for the Tour

  • Go after dark. Most of these displays are built around lights, fog and sound, so they are at their best in the evening.
  • These are private homes. Enjoy them from the sidewalk or street, keep driveways clear and keep the noise down on residential blocks.
  • Pair it with the parade or trick-or-treat. The Halloween Parade runs up Asbury Avenue from 6th to 11th Street at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29, and trick-or-treating is 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31. Tour 1 is a short drive or walk from the parade route.
  • Two tours, one night. Each route opens in Google Maps in order. Tour 1 covers the North End and downtown; Tour 2 heads south to 17th Street, 23rd Street and Bay Landings near 34th Street.
