The survey looked at Trick-or-Treater friendliness, abundance of Halloween-related events for kids and adults, and Halloween weather. When you consider the fact that you can visit the largest pumpkin in Florida at Bearss Groves, and watch spooky flicks under the stars in a pumpkin patch, it’s not hard to see why Tampa placed in the top 30.

The study also looks at amusement parks per capita, pumpkin patches per capita, the number of candy/sweet shops in town, and forecasted Halloween precipitation. The forecast calls for trick-or-treating along the Tampa Riverwalk.
