You're a guest in an active memorial space: stay on paths, never touch or lean on monuments, keep voices low, and give any funeral or visiting family wide berth. Photography of headstones is usually fine on official tours, but follow the guide's guidance. Ghost-story framing doesn't suspend the respect rules, and daytime historical tours cover the same ground with better sightlines.
The standard kit: costume parades with all-winners ribbons, craft stations, cookie decorating, face painting with a line worth budgeting 20 minutes for, candy stops, and a not-scary story corner. They're compact, usually two to three hours, so arrive at the start when supplies are full, since craft tables and candy famously run out early. Free almost always, donations welcome.
At most public community celebrations, respectful participation is welcomed, and many events offer face painting on site, which is the best signal that joining in is invited. Treat it as tribute rather than costume: skip zombie or horror mashups, keep the look traditional, and pair it with genuine participation. When events are hosted by cultural organizations, follow their posted guidance.
