Hilton Hawaiian Village is running a month of Halloween food and family events in Waikiki, with a discounted room deal that makes it an easy local staycation.

• Halloween-themed pastries and special drinks are on offer all through October.
• Decorated desserts include coconut, vanilla bean pumpkin, peanut, and fresh berry versions.
• Family-friendly activities round out the month, including movie screenings on the big screen and parades.
• A Halloween weekend room package comes with a steep discount, aimed at locals who want to stay in Waikiki for the costumes and crowds.
• The pastry shop is open daily, and holiday menus follow — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a five-course New Year's Eve dinner.

Outlook: The Halloween offerings run to the end of October, then roll straight into Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday menus at the resort.
