Whether you’re lighting up before a haunted tour or winding down after a night of costumes and candy, Bask has your fall vibes covered.
Catch the Iconic South End Halloween Parade

Even if you’re not heading into full scary mode, the region offers endless fall charm: harbor walks, pumpkin-spiced treats from The Baker, museum visits, and more.
Tip: Use Bask as your launch point — morning visit for a quick stop, then stroll into New Bedford for sightseeing or lunch, and cap off the day with a Halloween event.
21+ Halloween Parties & Nightlife
For the adult crowd, the South Coast has a vibrant lineup of 21+ parties, costume contests, themed cocktails and spooky vibes.
Tip: Stop by Bask early (open until 9 pm at Fairhaven & 10 pm in Taunton) to pick up your supplies, then head into New Bedford for nightlife and fun.
👻 Halloween Weekend: Light Up & Chill Out
Halloween weekend on the South Coast is all about atmosphere—cool nights, glowing pumpkins, and that perfect mix of cozy and creepy. Whether you’re heading out in costume or staying in to hand out candy, it’s the ideal time to elevate your vibe with a little help from Bask. Stop by our dispensary before the festivities kick off to stock up on your favorite strains, tasty edibles, or smooth vape carts. You’ll find something for every kind of spooky celebration—whether you’re planning a haunted hangout with friends or a quiet, candle-lit movie night at home.
If your Halloween plans involve venturing into the night, try pairing a light sativa or balanced hybrid with your adventures. A few puffs before a costume party or haunted hayride can add an extra layer of fun to the night. Heading downtown for New Bedford’s Halloween on the Waterfront? A discreet vape pen is perfect for a smooth, on-the-go high that keeps you relaxed and social without missing a beat.
Prefer to keep it chill? Cozy up at home with your favorite blanket, a bowl of treats, and an indica strain that sets the perfect mellow mood. Queue up classic horror flicks like Rosemary’s Baby or The Shining, and let the evening roll at your own pace. You can even enhance the night with some cannabis-infused gummies or chocolates—sweet, spooky, and perfectly seasonal.
