Halloween Weekend Trick or Treat Events in Denver, CO!

Sharing is caring!

Looking for places to take your kids Trick or Treating for Halloween in Denver? Here’s your guide to Denver Halloween events for kids.

Trick or Treat, Smell my feet… My kids, like most, love to Trick or Treat. Our youngest just learned to say Trick or Treat and realized that when you say it, you get candy. The excitement that took over when we went to a trunk or treat school event last week was adorable. This is her first Halloween where she really understands whats going on and she can fully enjoy it. So I want to take advantage of all that fun Halloween things for kids to do around the Denver Metro area. Halloween weekend (Oct 28th-29th) there are lots of events for kids to take advantage of trick or treating, fall festivals, and much more. So I thought it would be fun to put together a list of Trick or Treat events you can take your littles to! Bonus: A lot of them are FREE!
