Halloween at Willow Glen

Inna and I met up with friends for a Halloween walk around Willow Glen. The neighborhood was extremely crowded, with imaginative decorations everywhere we looked.

Orange and purple lights set the Halloween mood.

Most people were dressed up. I wore a sloth costume, and Inna wore a sloth hat, so we were ready to join the Halloween crowd.

There were plenty of animated zombies and pirates, along with elaborate front-yard displays and spooky scenes in the windows. Here are a few of the decorations we saw along the way.

We really enjoyed the evening. Every year, Willow Glen seems to have the best Halloween decorations and the biggest turnout.

A warning about traffic and parking: Traffic was at a standstill. Don’t count on finding nearby parking or making a quick exit. Plan how you’ll get in and out before you arrive.
