When October arrives, Boulder becomes a patchwork of glowing pumpkins, spooky porches and inventive costumes. From family-friendly block parties to extravagant garden displays, the Boulder area’s neighborhoods and businesses are doing everything they can to celebrate the spooky season. Whatever you’re looking for, these local favorites offer something for every Halloween lover.
Mapleton Hill
If you’re looking for some fantastic Halloween shows, Mapleton Hill is where many homeowners turn their porches and yards into mini ghost scenes. The tree-lined neighborhood is perfect for giving you a spooky experience while enjoying the creative setups. It’s walkable, scenic, and always festive! Take a drive to see some of the best displays in Boulder.
Nieuwlanden
Newlands has the small, close-knit atmosphere that makes Halloween truly special. Porches are decorated, driveways turn into candy stations, and families walk around so the entire block feels included. I asked locals for their opinion, and the consensus is that this neighborhood is a good choice for a safe, lively evening.
Four Mile Creek
Four Mile Creek in North Boulder is another top spot for families looking for Halloween fun. The streets in this neighborhood also often have amazing displays, making this area perfect for an early evening trick-or-treating run.
Pearl Street and Downtown Boulder
Downtown Boulder becomes a kid-friendly candy street on Halloween with the Munchkin Masquerade on Pearl Street. Local shops and restaurants hand out treats, and the pedestrian zone allows parents to focus more on taking costume photos and less on worrying about traffic.
Big Beard in Longmont
If you’re willing to drive a short distance, Longmont offers its own Halloween experience. The Grossen Bart Brewery in Longmont hosts Halloween events for the community that make the evening feel as much like a block party as it does trick-or-treating. This location is hosting Hooligan Halloween on the 31st, a family-friendly event with punk rock, art vendors and delicious food. It’s a fun option if you want a mix of displays and evening entertainment.
Boulder and nearby towns offer a wide variety of Halloween experiences. Whether you’re looking for a great trick-or-treating location or a family-friendly event, there’s plenty to choose from! However you celebrate this year, I hope you have a fantastic holiday.
