Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival is going to be amazing this year. Funergy will present nightly costume contests, and everyone is welcome to participate. Show off your best costume and win a prize. Over 20 hot air balloons from around the country will be at the festival, and each will be a trick-or-treat station. That means you'll be able to get candy and treats all night long. They even have over 4,000 pounds of candy ready for the kids. If that wasn't enough, Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Ride Co. offers hot air balloon rides for the whole family. What a fantastic way to see everything from above.

Stroll through Historic Heritage Square for a visual feast that delves into the rich history of Phoenix's Victorian past. The Rosson House dates back to the late 1800s and is the Square's centerpiece and a sight to behold. The historic architecture remains intact, while the buildings have become museums, shops, and restaurants. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just looking for a peaceful place to unwind, Heritage Square has something for everyone. Remember to acknowledge the O'Odham and Piipaash peoples and their ancestors, whose traditional territory and homelands we now stand on.
