Las Vegas goes big for Halloween, and this year there are two weekends of parties packed into the season.

That’s the benefit of Halloween falling on a Thursday.

If you check out FOX5Vegas.com today you’ll find a list of weeknight Halloween happenings.

My recommends: Town Scary at Town Square and downtown’s annual Las Vegas Halloween Parade.

There’s also the Fall’Oween Festival hosted by the Downtown Project from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday. You can find more details at the Downtown Project’s website.

I wish I had enough time for all of these events, but I’ll be treating my daughter to a tour of our pumpkin patch and graveyard.

Here’s a pic, with all the jack-o-lanterns lit for Thursday night.

I love Halloween.
