Every year in Denver: the FAQ

Boo at the Zoo (Oct 30, 2026); Trick or Treat Street in Olde Town Arvada (Oct 30, 2026); Boo and Brew on Colfax (Oct 31, 2026); Boo at the Zoo Sensory-Friendly Night (Oct 31, 2026); Crawl-O-Ween at Butterfly Pavilion (Oct 31, 2026), plus 18 more below.

It stays up at the same address. Once the dates pass, the page shows the last confirmed dates with that year’s price and ages, and we add the next dates when the official page lists them.

Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 30, 2026, and we recheck them every Monday and Thursday. How we choose and check.

The checked list, every Thursday.
