Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays | September 18th - November 1st
Get lost in the 8-acre Corn Maze at Chatfield Farms! This year’s maze celebrates Colorado’s 150th anniversary, with twists and turns inspired by state symbols like the Rocky Mountain columbine and bighorn sheep. Climb the bridge for a bird’s-eye view of the maze, and little ones can explore a mini maze of their own.
Advance tickets are recommended so you can lock in your preferred date and entry time. Printed maps won’t be available, so snap a photo of the maze map when you arrive or check it out online before you go.

South Broadway (Denver) | October 17th | 6-9 P.M.
We love a parade no matter the season, but the Broadway Halloween Parade has a special place in our hearts. South Broadway transforms into a Halloween wonderland on Saturday, October 17th, with creative floats, costumed characters, performers, and plenty of spooky neighborhood spirit.
The parade has become one of Denver’s favorite Halloween traditions, bringing together neighbors, local businesses, artists, and families for one seriously festive night on Broadway.

Denver Botanic Garden | October 15th-18th & October 21st-24th | 5:30-9 P.M.
Wander an immersive, illuminated path through Denver Botanic Gardens and discover enchanted landscapes, live performers, and hand-carved pumpkin displays around every bend.
Glow at the Gardens weaves together the spooky, silly, and spirited for an autumnal experience unlike any other. Even better, the jack-o’-lanterns and larger-than-life pumpkin sculptures are carved from real, locally grown pumpkins.
This event is known to sell out, so grabbing tickets early is a good idea.

Boettcher Concert Hall | October 29th-31st
What’s this?! Back by popular demand, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is coming to the big screen at Boettcher Concert Hall while the Colorado Symphony performs Danny Elfman’s iconic score live.
The full movie will play with its original dialogue, singing, and effects while the Symphony performs every note of the score. Costumes are encouraged, so channel your inner Jack or Sally and make a Halloween outing of it.
Performances take place October 29th and 30th at 7:30 P.M. and October 31st at 2 P.M.
Meow Wolf | October 23rd, 24th & 31st
Meow Wolf is going all out for Halloween this year with multiple ways to get weird inside Convergence Station.
It starts with DANCEPORTATION: PlayHaus on October 23rd and 24th, a 21+ queer psychedelic haunted house party featuring DJs, live performances, four main stages, and plenty of surprises throughout the exhibition.
Then, Halloween itself brings two completely different celebrations. Trick or Treating in the Multi-Verse takes over Convergence Station during the day with 10+ trick-or-treat stations, roaming characters, crafts, and family-friendly fun. That night, adults can keep the party going at The Cosmic Howl Ultimate House Party, Meow Wolf’s 21+ cross-dimensional Halloween bash.
