Upcoming Halloween Trade Shows & Conventions Throughout the U.S.

September 20, 2017 By Chelsea T.

For those who enjoy the Halloween and Haunting Season as much as we do, we do our best to find ways to keep the spooky spirit alive all throughout the year. Attending Halloween Conventions and Trade Shows is a fun way to celebrate and gives both thrill seekers and haunt owners a chance to check out some pretty awesome props, sets, animatronics, advertising opportunities and more. Take a peek at some upcoming shows happening throughout the rest of this year, and in 2018, too!
