I used Google’s ‘Ask Maps’ feature to plan my Halloween weekend festivities — 7 events it recommended I'd actually attend

When a holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, I’m always overjoyed (especially if it’s my birthday).

And this year, my favorite holiday just happens to be falling on a Saturday. Of course I’m talking about Halloween, which is one of an adult’s perfect excuses to get all dressed up as their favorite characters and meet up with a bunch of like-minded cosplayers (another good excuse is attending Comic-Con). I already have my costume laid out, ready to go, but there’s just one problem: I don’t have somewhere in mind that I can actually go to show off my holiday-themed wear.

Then, like a sign from the heavens, I locked eyes with the Google Maps app and had a lightbulb pop up over my head. “Oh yeah! I can use the “Ask Maps” feature to find something fun to do on Halloween!”

I simply tapped on the AI-powered tool inside Google Maps, asked it to find the best events I should consider going to with a few friends for Halloween and was met with a strong list of recommendations that I’m actually considering attending.

There are a few aspects of the Ask Maps feature that I appreciate. Among them is its ability to actually show the events on a local map and provide direct links to where I can get more information about them. Ask Maps’ Halloween celebration suggestions were split up into a bunch of different themes, such as Nightclubs & High-Energy Bashes, Parades, Crawls & Unique Shows, Themed Parties & Rooftop Bashes, Nightlife Cruises & Skyline Sails and Multi-Venue Crawls & Day Markets.
