Anoka

Anoka sits at the confluence of the Rum and Mississippi rivers in Minnesota, where two waterways define its northern Twin Cities setting. As the seat of Anoka County, the city developed around a river crossing and retains a compact downtown near the Rum River. Anoka is widely known as the Halloween Capital of the World: its community Halloween celebrations began in 1920, including a parade intended to steer young people away from pranks. Riverbanks, parks and residential streets give the city a more small-town rhythm than central Minneapolis.
