Neighborhood networking app Nextdoor is kicking off the spooky season with the return of its annual Treat Map. For the 12th consecutive year, the Nextdoor Treat Map is the original, interactive guide to local festivities, as neighbors show and share their plans for this once-a-year celebration of neighborhood spirit.
Through October 31, neighbors can drop a themed pin on the Treat Map for their home or local business to indicate their plans to decorate or hand out candy for Halloween. To inspire others to get in on the fun, neighbors can add images and text to their pins to help inform visitors, from photos of frightfully festive decor to their plans to give the ultimate Halloween handout: king-sized candy bars.
The Treat Map is a helpful tool for families to chart their trick-or-treat route. With Halloween falling on a school night this year, parents can refer to the Treat Map to find nearby hotspots for trick-or-treating to ensure a fun and efficient evening for their families.
“In exploring attitudes and opinions about trick-or-treating with parents on Nextdoor, one point was clear: neighbors love Halloween,” said Jacob Chavis, Senior Manager of Customer Analytics & Insights. “With the return of the Treat Map, families can ensure they’re getting the most out of this beloved neighborhood tradition.”
