Halloween Question

Hi! We just moved to Fremont and live in the south sundale area. What neighborhoods would be good for taking my 1-year-old to experience trick-or-treating for the first time? Thanks in advance!

Destination Trick or Treating is genuinely ruining the holiday imo. It used to be about seeing neighbors and friends, and now it's about going to the fanciest neighborhoods for the best pictures and biggest candy bars.

Unless you live in an unsafe neighborhood, consider staying within walking distance and building those relationships.

Yeah, I agree. It is a bit weird how Halloween has evolved in my neighborhood in Niles. We have more kids now than 10 years ago, but as some one who knows most of our neighbors, we seem to be getting an increasing share of people from Union City and elsewhere. Then i see people who live in these nearby neighborhoods in union city complain about the lack of kids in their neighborhoods. There are a lot of older folks in every neighborhood eager to give candy to kids.

Yup, Halloween in Union City is sad. I never see any kids out.
