Walking tours mostly run in light rain, ponchos on, stories continue, and cancel only for storms, usually with rebooking or refunds offered by text a few hours ahead. Festivals soldier through drizzle but cancel for lightning, and grass venues turn to mud that outlasts the rain by a day. Check the operator's weather policy at booking and their social feed before leaving.
The good ones are history tours wearing a cape: crime, fire, plague, and architecture stories you'd never get on a daytime walk, delivered theatrically after dark. Skeptics should pick tours marketed on history and storytelling over ones selling ghost-hunting equipment sessions. Read recent reviews for the guide's name, since the teller makes or breaks it, and go in for the stories.
The quiet total, farm day, haunt night, party, tour, costumes, candy, easily clears several hundred dollars per household. Cap it by picking one paid anchor per category you actually care about, filling the rest with free community events, and setting costume budgets before inspiration strikes. Early-bird tickets and weeknight pricing trim 20-30 percent off the same experiences.
