1Independence, Kansas

For those looking for a quirky, old-fashioned Halloween celebration, Independence, Kansas is the place to go. Each October, the town hosts Neewollah, a nine-day festival that was originally created to divert attention from Halloween pranks (the name is Halloween spelled backward).

The festival includes parades, carnival rides, a talent show, and a costume contest, culminating in a grand finale of fireworks. Neewollah is a beloved local tradition, and its unique history, coupled with its festive atmosphere, makes it a one-of-a-kind Halloween destination.
