You may be too old to go trick-or-treating but that doesn’t mean that you have to go without sweet treats on Halloween. There’s a whole bag full of Halloween fun for adults on tap in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area this year, including some great concerts, costume parties and haunted happenings. Here are some events we think you’ll really like.
