Although families are being encouraged to avoid traditional trick-or-treating this year, there are safe trick-or-treating alternatives that are popping up in place of regular rituals. HAUNTOWEEN LA is a family-friendly adventure that takes the form of a drive-thru experience that unfolds over the course of a two-street, built-out neighborhood. As families drive through HAUNTOWEEN LA, they will encounter costumed and masked actors who will share treats in a safe way.
It's estimated that 25,000 vehicles will drive through HAUNTOWEEN LA this year and families will be treated to products from partners like Butterfinger and Sun-Maid.
As celebrations for the rest of the year will also look different, Experiential Supply Founder & Chief Experience Officer Jasen Smith remarks that: "We're thinking of creating a holiday season experience that would showcase all religions and beliefs with a snow-kissed holiday overlay."
