There are only two weeks until the big night and as we continue to creep toward the October 31 holiday, people are finalizing plans for Halloween night.

Nerdwallet and event management website Eventbrite have just released their ranking of the best cities in the United States for Halloween festivities this year. The top of the list features some usual suspects with a few surprises sprinkled in.

Click through and find out where your city landed among the best party spots for Halloween this year.

The ranking looks at two factors to score each city:

Engagement: Are people actually going to Halloween parties? Each city was given an engagement score of 1-10 based on number of tickets bought for Halloween events hosted on Eventbrite. Cost: Are Halloween events in the budget? Included in each city's score is a weight to the cost of Halloween parties.

Texas placed five cities in the ranking's top 25.
