Halloween in Las Vegas goes well beyond the big costume parties and nightclub events on the Strip. Across the valley, local families can find trick-or-treat celebrations, neighborhood festivals, haunted attractions, pumpkin patches, and Halloween activities that bring the season closer to home. With Halloween falling on Saturday, October 31, 2026, there’s plenty happening throughout the final week of October.
Whether you’re planning something with younger children, looking for an actual scare, or hoping to spend Halloween night somewhere with music and friends, the right event depends on the experience you’re looking for. A family evening at Opportunity Village is quite different from a haunted house in Boulder City, and a free neighborhood celebration might make more sense than a ticketed attraction.
We’ve organized this Everyday.Vegas guide around events covered in our local calendar, with an emphasis on communities including Summerlin, Henderson, Centennial Hills, Boulder City, and the Southwest. You’ll find events by type, a Halloween weekend planner, and additional ideas for enjoying the season. For activities throughout the rest of the month, browse our Las Vegas local events calendar.

Family-Friendly Halloween Events in Las Vegas
For families, Halloween doesn’t have to revolve around haunted houses. Several local events focus on costumes, games, rides and trick-or-treating without the intense scares. These options are especially useful when planning with children of different ages.
HallOVeen at the Magical Forest
October 2–4 and October 9–31 | Opportunity Village
HallOVeen transforms Opportunity Village’s Magical Forest into a Halloween attraction with illuminated decorations, friendly ghosts, pumpkins and seasonal entertainment. Families can explore the forest while enjoying familiar attractions such as the carousel, slide, mini golf and other activities.
What makes HallOVeen different from a neighborhood trick-or-treat is the amount of time families can spend exploring the property. It’s an evening destination rather than a quick stop for candy, and the event supports Opportunity Village’s work in the community.

Halloween Family Event at Bouncy World
October 30 | Southwest Las Vegas
For children who would rather play than walk through haunted attractions, Bouncy World’s Halloween celebration combines indoor inflatable play with a costume parade and contest. It’s a useful choice for families looking for a daytime Halloween activity before the holiday itself.
The costume parade is scheduled for 12:30 PM, followed by the contest at 1:00 PM. Remember to bring socks for the play area and allow enough time for children to get ready.

Halloween Spectacular at Lake Las Vegas
October 31, 6–9 PM | The Village at Lake Las Vegas
Halloween at Lake Las Vegas brings a different atmosphere to the holiday. Instead of haunted mazes or carnival attractions, families can watch a decorated golf cart parade, enjoy entertainment, take part in costume activities and explore the lakeside village.
The event is free to attend and offers a more relaxed Halloween evening, especially for Henderson residents who want to combine the festivities with a walk around the waterfront.

Fergie’s Fun Fright in Boulder City
October 23–November 1 | Boulder City
Fergie’s Fun Fright is a community Halloween attraction with a blacklight maze and separate areas for different scare preferences. A kid-friendly section offers seasonal fun without the scarier elements, while another provides a stronger scare experience.
Admission is free, with visitors encouraged to consider a food donation supporting Emergency Aid of Boulder City. It’s an appealing community alternative for families who don’t necessarily want a major ticketed Halloween attraction.

Free Trick-or-Treating and Community Halloween Celebrations
Not every Halloween outing needs to involve buying tickets. Shopping districts, libraries, and community organizations throughout Las Vegas and Henderson host events where children can wear costumes, collect candy, and participate in activities.
These celebrations are often the easiest choice for families who want a familiar, festive environment without a haunted-house experience. Candy and some activities may be limited, so arriving early is worthwhile.
Town Scary at Town Square
October 31, 4–7 PM | Town Square Las Vegas
Town Scary turns Town Square’s Main Street into a Halloween gathering with trick-or-treating at participating businesses, games, music and children’s costume contests. Families can walk through the outdoor shopping district while children collect candy and enjoy the festivities.
It’s an especially practical option for families in the southern valley who want a free Halloween activity. Costume contest registration begins at 4 PM, and participation is first-come, first-served.
Town Scary brings free trick-or-treating, music, games and costume contests to Main Street at Town Square Las Vegas on Halloween.
Monster Mash on Main St. at The District
October 31, 4–7 PM | The District at Green Valley Ranch
Henderson families can celebrate Halloween along Main Street at The District, where participating businesses will offer trick-or-treating alongside music, costumed characters, local vendors and children’s activities.
The outdoor setting makes it easy to combine Halloween with time at the surrounding shops and restaurants. For Green Valley residents, it’s a convenient way to enjoy Halloween close to home rather than driving across town.

Haunted Harvest at Centennial Hills Library
October 29, 4–7:30 PM | Centennial Hills
Haunted Harvest offers free trunk-or-treating, face painting, games and a fantasy-themed scavenger hunt around Centennial Hills Library and the neighboring community center. The 2026 theme includes a castle maze, dragons and other family-friendly activities.
It’s a useful Northwest Las Vegas option for families who prefer a community celebration with several activities beyond collecting candy.
Haunted Harvest at Centennial Hills Library

Nevada State Police Ghost Patrol Trunk or Treat
October 29, 6–8 PM | South Las Vegas

Admission is free, and families can spend the evening interacting with participating law enforcement and community organizations while children enjoy the Halloween activities.

LVMPD Trunk or Treat
October 29 | Las Vegas
Another local community celebration comes from LVMPD, offering families an additional opportunity for trunk-or-treating before Halloween night. This is particularly helpful for households that prefer taking part in organized celebrations rather than visiting neighborhoods door to door.
Celebrate Halloween with LVMPD on October 29 from 6–8 PM with a free family Trunk or Treat featuring candy, games,...
Haunted Houses and Scary Halloween Attractions
For anyone who actually wants to be scared, Las Vegas has a different side of Halloween. Haunted mazes, live performers, creature effects and unusual seasonal experiences offer considerably more intensity than the family celebrations.
Pay attention to the type of attraction before buying tickets. Some venues emphasize traditional jump scares and dark corridors, while others include interactive exhibits or let visitors stay inside their vehicles.
Kingdom of Zombies
October 2–November 1 | Las Vegas Sportspark
Kingdom of Zombies turns Las Vegas Sportspark into an outdoor Halloween destination with several themed attractions. Visitors can explore haunted mazes with live actors and special effects, see creature displays in the Museum of Monsters and try interactive zombie-themed activities.
One advantage is the variety. Groups with different scare preferences can choose between more intense maze experiences and monster displays that put greater emphasis on themed environments and photo opportunities.
Kingdom of Zombies returns to Las Vegas for 2026 with four attractions in one ticket, including haunted mazes, live zombies,...
The Fright Zone at Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum
Select nights through October 31 | Boulder City
The Fright Zone offers a traditional haunted-house experience with Blackwell Manor, combining dark spaces, detailed horror sets, live actors and practical creature effects. Admission also includes access to Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum.
The combination gives horror fans something beyond a standard walk-through attraction. If special-effects makeup, movie monsters and creature design are part of what you enjoy about Halloween, this is a strong match.
Everyday.Vegas has also visited and covered Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum, offering a closer look at the permanent attraction.
The Fright Zone combines Blackwell Manor with Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum for 13 nights of live scares, practical monsters and...
Tunnel of Terror at Tommy’s Express
Select nights through October 30 | North Las Vegas
Tunnel of Terror offers an unusual Halloween experience by turning a functioning car wash into a haunted drive-through. Visitors remain in their vehicles while costumed performers, lighting, sound and surprise scares fill the wash tunnel.
The attraction is much shorter than a full haunted-house evening, but the experience itself is different. It’s a good choice for people who want something seasonal without walking through a dark maze.
For 2026, the remaining listed date is Friday, October 30, from 6–9 PM. The event is not scheduled for Halloween night.

Halloween Events for Adults: Music, Costumes and Nightlife
Halloween isn’t only about haunted houses and children’s costumes. Local bars, lounges and entertainment venues are hosting their own celebrations, giving adults options that don’t necessarily involve major Strip nightclubs.
2 Days of Terror at Cat’s Meow
October 30–31 | Downtown Las Vegas
Cat’s Meow brings Halloween into its karaoke setting with a Haunted Hallway, costumed guests, spooky performances and the regular chance to take the stage. The Downtown location inside Neonopolis makes it an option for adults who want an energetic Halloween night with friends.
The venue is 21 and older, and guests should follow the venue’s entry rules even if third-party event listings show different age information.

Blue String Theory at Rocks Lounge
October 31, 9–11 PM | Red Rock Resort, Summerlin
For adults who prefer live music over a large Halloween party, Blue String Theory performs a free show at Rocks Lounge. The five-piece Las Vegas band plays a mix of familiar songs, making it a straightforward option for a night out in Summerlin.
This is a free, 21-and-over concert, rather than an advertised costume contest or major themed party. Guests looking for a more relaxed evening can combine the show with dinner at Red Rock Resort.

Official Halloween Bar Crawl
October 31 | Las Vegas
For groups who want more of a party atmosphere, the Official Halloween Bar Crawl offers a coordinated evening involving participating bars, costumes and drink specials. It’s a different type of outing from attending a single lounge or performance.
Check the event information for participating locations, check-in requirements and any included benefits before purchasing tickets.

Halloween Weekend 2026: What to Do by Date
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026, but several activities happen earlier in the week. If you’re trying to fit Halloween into a busy schedule, choosing by date may be easier than comparing every attraction.
Tuesday, October 27
Underwater Pumpkin Carving at Silverton Aquarium: Watch divers carve pumpkins inside Silverton’s aquarium at 10:30 AM. This free-to-view attraction is a particularly different way to enjoy a little Halloween fun with children.
Underwater Pumpkin Carving at Silverton Aquarium
Underwater Pumpkin Carving at Silverton Aquarium lets visitors watch divers create jack-o’-lanterns among tropical fish, sharks and stingrays.
Thursday, October 29
Thursday offers several opportunities for families to celebrate before Halloween. Haunted Harvest at Centennial Hills Library, the Nevada State Police Ghost Patrol and LVMPD Trunk or Treat are all scheduled for this date.
These are especially useful if Saturday evening is already reserved for neighborhood trick-or-treating or a family gathering.
Friday, October 30
Friday brings a mix of daytime family activities and nighttime attractions. Bouncy World has its indoor Halloween celebration, Tunnel of Terror has its final scheduled night, and Cat’s Meow begins its Halloween festivities.
Kingdom of Zombies, HallOVeen and other multi-date Halloween attractions provide additional choices, subject to their operating calendars.
Saturday, October 31: Halloween Night
Halloween itself offers several clear choices depending on where you live and who you’re going with:
- Henderson: Monster Mash at The District or the Halloween Spectacular at Lake Las Vegas.
- South Las Vegas: Town Scary at Town Square.
- Summerlin: HallOVeen at the Magical Forest or Blue String Theory at Rocks Lounge for adults.
- Boulder City: The Fright Zone for a more intense haunted attraction.
- Downtown: Halloween karaoke and the Haunted Hallway at Cat’s Meow.
If you’re planning to attend more than one event, choose locations carefully. Several Halloween celebrations run during the same early-evening hours, making travel time and parking important considerations.
Sunday, November 1
The Halloween season doesn’t end everywhere at midnight. Kingdom of Zombies and Fergie’s Fun Fright have schedules extending through November 1, providing additional opportunities for those who can’t make it out on Halloween night.
Where to Go Based on the Halloween Experience You Want
Halloween With Younger Children
HallOVeen, Town Scary, Monster Mash and the Halloween Spectacular at Lake Las Vegas are easier starting points than traditional haunted houses. Each provides family activities without making intense scares the main attraction.
Free Halloween Events
Look toward Town Scary, Monster Mash, Haunted Harvest at Centennial Hills Library, Ghost Patrol and the Lake Las Vegas celebration. Fergie’s Fun Fright is another free community option with different levels of Halloween intensity.
Halloween for Teens and Horror Fans
Kingdom of Zombies and The Fright Zone offer more developed horror experiences, including live actors and haunted environments. Review individual attraction information before bringing younger visitors, especially those sensitive to loud sounds, darkness or sudden scares.
Halloween Without Walking Through a Haunted House
Tunnel of Terror provides scares from inside a vehicle, while the Silverton aquarium event offers an entirely different seasonal activity without the horror elements. These are useful alternatives for visitors who want something unusual.
Halloween Date Night or an Evening With Friends
For a louder Halloween night, Cat’s Meow combines karaoke and themed entertainment. Blue String Theory at Rocks Lounge offers a simpler live-music option in Summerlin. Couples who enjoy horror attractions can also consider The Fright Zone.
Halloween Events by Las Vegas Area
Staying near home can make a big difference on Halloween, especially for families attending outdoor events with children in costume.
Summerlin and the West Valley
HallOVeen, Kingdom of Zombies and the live performance at Rocks Lounge offer three very different approaches to Halloween in and around the west valley. Families can choose a seasonal attraction, horror fans can look for haunted mazes, and adults can enjoy live music.
Henderson and Green Valley
Monster Mash at The District and Halloween Spectacular at Lake Las Vegas provide two community-focused options for Halloween night. One centers on Main Street trick-or-treating, while the other adds a waterfront setting and golf cart parade.
Centennial Hills and North Las Vegas
Haunted Harvest at Centennial Hills Library and Tunnel of Terror at Tommy’s Express offer different experiences in the northern valley. One is designed around family activities and candy, while the other brings Halloween scares into a drive-through car wash.
Boulder City
Boulder City has a strong pair of seasonal options with Fergie’s Fun Fright and The Fright Zone. The first offers a community experience with both mild and scary sections, while the second pairs a haunted house with a dedicated monster museum.
Southwest and South Las Vegas
Bouncy World, Town Scary, Silverton’s underwater pumpkin carving and Ghost Patrol provide a range of choices for families around the southern valley. From indoor play to free trick-or-treating, these events make it possible to enjoy Halloween without committing to a major evening attraction.
More Halloween and Fall Activities Around Las Vegas
If your plans are flexible, there are additional ways to celebrate the season before November arrives.
Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes
Several pumpkin patches around the valley continue through October 31, while the Moapa Valley Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch extends through November 1. These outings focus on pumpkins, rides, games, mazes and other autumn activities rather than Halloween-night entertainment.
For a closer look at the Summerlin location, see our Halloween Town Summerlin Pumpkin Patch coverage. The 2026 location is at the Resort at Summerlin/JW Marriott area, not Boca Park.
Explore Springs Preserve
Haunted Harvest at Springs Preserve ran October 22–25 and has already ended for 2026. However, the preserve itself remains an option for families looking for a local outing beyond Halloween. We’ve explored Springs Preserve firsthand and covered what makes it worth visiting with children.
Make a Boulder City Day Trip
Families planning to visit The Fright Zone or Fergie’s Fun Fright can spend time exploring Boulder City before their Halloween event. Our Boulder City local guide offers ideas for enjoying the town’s shops, dining and small-town atmosphere.
Explore Lake Las Vegas
The Halloween Spectacular is another reason to spend time at the lakeside village. Our firsthand Lake Las Vegas coverage explores the waterfront destination and other ways to enjoy the area beyond a seasonal event.
Planning Your Halloween Outing in Las Vegas
Check the Date, Not Just the Event Name
Some Halloween attractions operate on select nights rather than every day between their opening and closing dates. Others, including several free community events, happen only once. Check the individual event listing before leaving home.
Choose the Right Level of Scares
A family-friendly Halloween festival and a haunted house aren’t interchangeable. Consider younger children’s comfort with loud noises, darkness, masks and jump scares before purchasing tickets.
Allow Extra Time on Halloween Night
Popular events can mean more traffic near shopping districts, resort entrances and community venues. Outdoor trick-or-treat events may also have limited candy or activity availability.
Bring the Essentials
Costumes, comfortable walking shoes, candy bags and a light layer for the evening are useful for most family events. For ticketed attractions, review admission and entry policies before arriving.
Verify Changes Before You Go
Event schedules, ticket availability and programming can change. This guide reflects the published 2026 event information, but individual event listings and organizers remain the most useful sources for final planning details.
