There’s something magical about spooky season. The crisp air, pumpkin spice everything, and that eerie thrill of Halloween lurking around the corner. If you’re planning a chill night in or an adventurous evening out, we’ve got the ultimate 420 date ideas for you and your favorite ghoul.
11 Spooky 420 Date Ideas You Can Do Around Charlotte (or at Home)
1. Stroll Through a Local Farmers Market for Pumpkins 🎃
Kick off your weekend with a relaxing morning at one of Charlotte’s local farmers markets try Atherton Farmers Market or Kings Drive Farmers Market. Bring your tote, grab some apple cider, and hunt for the perfect pumpkin together. Once you’re home, you can carve them into ghostly masterpieces while enjoying a few delta 9 fudge edibles or d9 popcorn snacks for that mellow creative flow.
2. Pumpkin Patch Photo Shoot 📸
No spooky date is complete without a pumpkin patch photoshoot. Head to Hodges Family Farm for hayrides, pumpkins, and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. Pair it with a low-dose delta 9 chocolate weed pop to keep the energy fun and just enough to make those fall colors pop a little brighter.
3. Visit a Haunted Attraction (If You Dare) 👻
Charlotte is crawling with haunted attractions this year. Brave the legendary ScareAtorium or The 13th Acre Haunted Trail both perfect for that heart-racing, grab-your-date-by-the-arm kind of night. Take a half gummy before you go; trust us, when the chainsaw guy jumps out of the shadows, it’ll be an unforgettable story.
(Tip: Check their event calendars, most are open through early November!)
4. Spirit Halloween Matching Costume Mission 🛍️
Set a playful challenge: head to Spirit Halloween and pick out each other’s costumes. You might end up as a zombie couple, ghost lovers, or even a bag of popcorn (we approve). Reward yourselves with a treat when you get home, maybe a bite of gourmet fudge hemp edibles or a handful of delta 9 popcorn edibles while you plan your next move.
5. Michaels Craft Date: DIY Spooky Decor 🖤
A relaxed craft night hits differently when you’re in the Halloween mood. Stop by Michaels for glow paint, mini pumpkins, and spooky trinkets. Light a candle, play some eerie tunes, and let your creativity run wild. Try painting ghost ornaments or spooky jars for your shelves, a little delta 8 taffy adds a giggly edge to the whole experience.
6. Boozy Bars & Haunted Hangouts 🍸
Charlotte’s bar scene comes alive in October with themed drinks and cobweb-covered corners. Check out this list for all the local Halloween popup bars! Have a drink, play some arcade games, and laugh till your sides hurt. Just remember: edibles and alcohol mix best when you go light on both.
7. Rocky Horror Picture Show Live 🎭
Few things say “Halloween date night” like singing “Time Warp” with a crowd of costumed fans. The Rocky Horror Picture Show often plays at The Independent Picture House and Neighborhood Theatre around this time of year, check their event listings. A small nibble of best-tasting fudge edibles can make the experience extra theatrical and fun.
8. Drive-In Scary Movie Night 🎬

9. Scary Movie Marathon at Home 🍿
If crowds aren’t your thing, transform your living room into a haunted cinema. Think dim lights, a blanket fort, and a menu of spooky treats like ghost-shaped cookies or popcorn mixed with delta 9 fudge bites. Queue up The Conjuring, Hocus Pocus, and The Nightmare Before Christmas and see who jumps first.
10. Bake Spooky Treats Together 🍪
