I spent the past few Octobers crisscrossing Georgia to see which streets locals praise for Halloween magic. I found several streets and neighborhoods in Georgia that locals say put on spectacular Halloween displays.
1. Jones Street, Savannah
Jones Street looks like a movie set after sunset, and I always start here. The live oaks filter warm lamplight onto brick sidewalks while porches glow with flickering LEDs. Residents set up life size skeletons, window silhouettes, and spider webs that drape across wrought iron rails.
I spot fog machines on some stoops and motion props that crackle when kids approach. Costumes feel right at home next to the Greek Revival and Italianate facades. The street runs quiet enough for easy strolling, though crowds build as night deepens.
I like to loop from Whitaker to Drayton and circle back, since every side offers a new angle for photos. Please keep voices low and avoid blocking steps, because people do live here. I bring a small flashlight for uneven bricks and keep to the curb on busy stretches…
