Fort Collins spreads its Halloween across two weeks: lantern-lit pumpkins and a farm trick-or-treat street this week, then a downtown toddler parade, a horror-movie symphony night and the Gardens’ Day of the Dead altars in the days around Oct. 31. This page lists every Halloween event in Fort Collins that we have verified against its organizer, in date order, with the time and the cost on each line. Every item links to our full listing, which has the address and the official source. We add new events here as we verify them.

Before you go
Pumpkins on Parade and Treatsylvania are both outdoors after dark, so dress for the forecast; Treatsylvania tickets went on sale Oct. 7 and the Sunday afternoon slot is the one for the youngest kids. Osborn Farm in Loveland is the closest pumpkin patch with no admission fee. For the towns to the south, see Halloween events in Loveland and Johnstown, and our weekend guide for Oct. 23 to 25 has the rest of the Northern Colorado calendar.
