That town is Anoka, Minnesota, and it calls itself the Halloween Capital of the World! Every fall, the streets there fill with costumes, candy, orange pumpkins, and glowing decorations.  \nLong before the costumes filled those streets, some kids liked to play pranks on Halloween night. Back in 1920, the grown-ups in Anoka had a clever idea to stop the mischief. Instead of pranks, the town gave the children a big parade and a fun party to enjoy.  \nThat first party turned out to be one of the very first city-wide Halloween celebrations in the whole United States! People marched down the street in costumes while others cheered and clapped. The idea worked so well that the town kept doing it, year after year, for more than a hundred years.  \nToday, that little idea has grown into a huge festival with many events. There are parades, costume contests, pumpkin games, and races, and everyone is invited to join.
