Yes. Family Storytime with Mesa Arts Center, Webster Recreation Center Halloween Carnival, Halloween Candy Taste Test and Craft and Haunted Hangar at Falcon Field Airport are free, going by the official pages. Parking and extras can still cost money.

We go by the town in each listing’s own address, or the library branch for storytimes. Anything with a different town in its address stays on the Phoenix pages. Every listing links to the venue’s or organizer’s page, and we only show a date, time or price when that page does. Last checked Oct 29, 2026.
