About this roundup
A costume needs somewhere to go. This archived October 23–25, 2026 selection brought together twelve Halloween highlights across the Phoenix Valley, from community celebrations, books and art to music, spooky theatre and a floating-pumpkin outing.
The options suited different groups: some were family outings, while Bingo Loco was 21+ and Haunted Castle was 16+. The organizer links preserve the weekend’s selection with entry and booking notes. These dates have passed, so use each organizer’s current calendar for a new plan; past appearances do not establish future sessions or open tickets.
