Masks come off at every door, no exceptions, so plan your costume around that moment.

The scene has caught up: look for zero-proof cocktail menus at cocktail bars, sober-friendly dance parties, and event listings mentioning mocktails. Bar crawls work sober too, the wristband buys the route and the people-watching, and costume contests, themed dinners, and late-night horror screenings center the theatrics over the drinking. Order first at the bar and the glass in hand ends all questions.
Yes, and they're underrated: daytime costume crawls through shops and breweries, family-hour versions of themed pop-up bars, Halloween brunches, and all-ages costume balls that end by 9 pm. Breweries are the sweet spot for mixed groups, since kids and dogs are often welcome on the patio into the evening. Check whether the venue flips to 21+ at a posted hour.
