Too Soon for Halloween? Boise Locals Share What They Think!

Y’all, can you believe it? Cruising through the store isles the other day, and what do we see? Halloween decorations, costumes, and spooky treats already on the shelves! Costcos and Dollar Stores and Hobby Lobby... they all already have Halloween and Christmas up in their stores! That's crazy. We're still in the heat of Summer.

We posted a poll on Facebook to see what y'all think about this, and your responses are below!

Now, we're all about enjoying those hot summer days and hitting the Boise River — Halloween in August? Some folks are calling it downright crazy! And others are saying there's something exciting about those pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters being just around the corner.

And let's be real, who can resist the allure of planning that perfect costume well in advance? I've heard some folks in our city are already brainstorming their most epic get-ups.

Personally, I prefer Halloween being an October-specific holiday, but there is one really good thing about seeing Halloween in the stores already, and that's the excitement that it brings...

After the extremely hot Summer we’ve been having, and the busy events and so many things going on, I personally can’t wait for Idaho Fall weather, and that’s going to be here before we know it.

So, whether you're raising an eyebrow at the premature Halloween decorations or you're secretly doing a happy dance because Fall is your jam, let's embrace this quirky transition in time together. Maybe pop by the local stores and chuckle at the skeletons hanging up next to the sunscreen.
