Despite the weekend weather forecast for a less-than-dry Halloween (couldn't it have rained last week instead?) kids are still going to don their favorite character getups and hit the streets for buckets of free candy. That's what umbrellas and rain boots are for, right?

But if getting so soaked that face paint runs down your cheeks isn't your idea of a good time, here's an overview of the kid-friendly Halloween night happenings (not all are indoors, but many are) we're aware of, from our online calendar of events:
