Places to see spooky + spectacular Halloween decorations in Birmingham

Great news: Halloween is expected to be bigger than ever this year, which means Birmingham will likely see some of that spirit around town.

Total expected spending in the U.S. on Halloween shopping — costumes, candy, decorations, party supplies and more — is a whopping $13.1 billion, according to an annual survey by the National Retail Federation. More people than ever are starting their shopping before October.

The highest year before now was 2023 with spending at $12.2 billion, and last year, 2024, was lower at $11.6 billion.

With this jump in spending, we’ll hopefully get to explore some spooky Halloween decorations all around Birmingham. Here are some of our favorite places to spot them so far.
