Kids don't come in their costumes but can bring them and change into them during the second half of the day. There are no limits/parameters on costumes. During the day on Halloween, they have outside time with festive things like an egg toss, three-legged race, sack race, bobbing for apples. Then they change into costumes (optional.) The middle school kids host a haunted house for the younger kids (it's a private ungraded school for ages 5-14, fewer than 40 kids total) and they all have cider donuts and apple cider.
Most of the kids walk in a local parade in the village that starts about an hour or so after school gets out, so that's where we go from school. My younger kids walk, too. The parade ends at the cultural/arts center and there's a large bonfire, cider & donuts (again, lol) and some gift certificates for costumes chosen as winners in various categories during the parade.
Some people also go trick-or-treating after.
