Below you’ll find single-day Halloween events and Trunk or Treats. This list DOES NOT include pumpkin patches, corn mazes, fall festivals, haunted houses, or other things to do in October all month long. You can find all of those listed in our Fall + Halloween Guide with dates and times – Pumpkin Patches, Farms + Corn Mazes.
We will continue to add events as we receive information, so keep checking back! Visit our calendar page to see a full list of October events.
What is a Trunk or Treat? If you’re new to the area, Trunk or Treats are popular here! People decorate their trunk / back of their car in a certain theme, kids meander through the line of cars and stop to “Trunk” or Treat at each one, ending up with a basket of candy just like Trick or Treating. These are safe alternatives to Halloween if you need one, and many of them are held on a night prior to October 31 so you can enjoy Trunk or Treating AND traditional Halloween. Use the list below to find a Trunk or Treat near you.
ADD AN EVENT – Please check the list first to be sure your event is not listed. There is a button at the bottom to Add an Event to our Calendar + Halloween List.
