This Is The Absolute Best Town In Ohio To Visit During The Halloween Season

Are you the kind of person who eagerly awaits the spooky season each year? Who happily folds laundry and washes dishes while watching “Hocus Pocus” on repeat, and has witches and giant spiders and animatronic Frankenstein monsters decorating their yard? Halloween people: we see you, and we get it. So does the town of Fairborn, Ohio. Not only is Fairborn the best Halloween town in Ohio, but it’s also a place where this delightfully frightful holiday is celebrated all year long.

At first glance, Fairborn, Ohio, doesn't seem all that out of the ordinary. This place of 33,000 outside of Dayton is a "big little" town with a delightful Main Street and all the businesses, parks, government services, and schools you'd expect to find in a town of this size.

But look closer, and you'll soon see that Fairborn is anything but ordinary.

You see, Fairborn is the home of Foy's, a conglomerate of several spooktacular stores and businesses that celebrate Halloween all. year. long.

The centerpiece, of course, is the original Foy's Halloween Store, which was opened by Albert Foy in 1929.

An Adult Costume Store and Kid's Costume Store joined the Halloween party decades later, offering folks of all ages the full Foy's experience, any time of year.

The Foy's dynasty has transformed this Ohio town into something no one could have ever imagined -- a real-life Halloween town!

In fact, Fairborn hosts an annual Halloween Festival each October, and to say the town goes "all out" is an understatement!

But Halloween is so much more than costumes and haunted houses -- it's a vibe. A culture. A literal *spirit*. And Fairborn has embraced this "Halloween town" identity, with residents going all out in the name of good, old-fashioned Halloween fun, thanks, in large part, to Foy's.

So the next time you're in need of a frightful fix in the Buckeye State, visit Fairborn, Ohio, the Buckeye State's very own Halloween town!
