It’s October, which means it’s almost time to pull out your costumes and candy for Halloween festivities. At this time of the year, you can be whoever you want — at least for a day. In addition to dressing up, many people may have traditions to accompany the holiday. We want to hear about the activities you look forward to for Halloween. Who knows, maybe someone will be inspired by what you do and add it to their celebrations.

Share your traditions with us via the form below, and you could be featured in the Up First newsletter on Oct. 27. You can also share a photo and upload your answers as a voice memo. Please submit responses by Oct. 10.

See some of your responses and others — and get the news you need to start your day — by subscribing to our newsletter.
