There are lots of things going on to celebrate the season but what is really going on ON Halloween Day/Night? I always leave Halloween plans to the very last minute since it usually falls on a week day and there is not enough time to plan it properly. This year I may have out done myself by over planning a Friday night party for my tween and family trick or treating as well. And of course whats another weekend without mom dragging the family to a Queens event. Check out our picks for Halloween Day below:
