There are so many options available now for getting Halloween candy. I love the fact that there are ways for people to get out and enjoy the "holiday" without having to go the traditional route. Locally, here are some of the best....
Trunk or Treats I see a host of churches having Trunk or Treat celebrations. These are a fantastic source of safety. You walk from car to car with the kids and trick or treat in a parking lot. There are a whole lot of very creative people who come up with incredible concepts for their trunks. It's very cool.
Trick or Treat Street. These are often at high schools locally. In fact, we just attended one last night. These are a great way to enjoy trick or treating but also to support your local community. I'm partial to this as my daughter spend time with her extra curricular group taking part in their trick or treat street. The kids come up with great "booths" and they love being able to hand out candy. It's a safe environment for you to enjoy some time with your kids and still get to trick or treat.
Malls, etc trick or treat Several of the local malls and shopping centers host a trick or treat celebration before or on Halloween. These are a great opportunity to get trick or treating done. I'm generally not a huge fan of these for the sole reason that I am not a huge fan of malls but they are a great option.
Fall Festivals Maybe you don't want to actively trick or treat at all and, instead, you'd like to give your kids a taste of the season without making it into a "thing." Fall Festivals are a great option for face painting, games, and other prizes without the overflowing bag of candy coming out of it.
Trick or Treating on Halloween Whether you drive your kids from house to house or just walk it with them, trick or treating is always a fun way for kids to get to experience the fun. I'm an advocate of walking it, personally, and making them work for their candy. That said, I understand how ugh that can be.
Whatever method you choose, be safe and have a great Halloween.
