Charlie Brown — America’s most loveable cartoon kid and star of the Halloween classic “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” — would be proud of Omaha, NE.

Every October, Omaha’s Village Pointe shopping center hosts the Great Pumpkin Festival, whose highlight is the lighting of the city’s famous pumpkin “tree.” In addition, the Omaha area boasts a number of pumpkin patches. And we can’t overlook Omaha TV station KXVO’s rather creepy “Pumpkin Dance” video from 2006, which is set to the “Ghostbusters” theme song and has been viewed more than 8 million times on YouTube.

On top of all that, the Nextdoor neighborhood social network in 2017 named Omaha the second best city in the country for trick-or-treating.
