Trick-or-treat at some frightfully delightful places on Halloween in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Neighborhoods take Halloween seriously and often go big for the holiday. San Francisco houses and doors are already some of the most Instagrammed curbs in the country. Add Halloween decor, and those Victorian homes practically beg kids to ring the doorbells and say, "Trick-or-treat!"

Streets are usually blocked off for the night, so families can roam free from door-to-door without worrying about traffic. Trick-or-treating is a Halloween tradition, and it can bring a community together. Plus, kiddos love candy and know which neighborhoods give out those full-size candy bars. Keep readiing for the best neighborhoods to trick-or-treat on Halloween, so get those costumes and treat bags ready for some Halloween fun!  

San Francisco and the Bay Area come alive for spooky, good Halloween fun. Discover the best Halloween events for kids in San Francisco, have a gourd time at the best pumpkin patches near San Francisco, and find more festive Halloween entertainment in our Halloween Fun and Activities Guide for San Francisco Kids.
