Halloween 2026 in El Paso County: The Complete Event Guide
Trunk-or-treats, festivals, and Halloween fun across Colorado Springs, Monument, Fountain, Palmer Lake, and the Black Forest. All 37 events from Oct. 28 through Halloween night.
Halloween week is one of the best weeks of the year in El Paso County, and this guide is our gift to the families who call this community home. Across Colorado Springs, Monument, Fountain, Palmer Lake, and the Black Forest, the calendar is packed with trunk-or-treats, festivals, and good old-fashioned Halloween fun, so we rounded up every event we could find to help you plan the week without the guesswork.
One note before you head out: the details below, including times, costs, and availability, come from each event's listing page and can change, so it is always worth confirming with the host before loading up the car. The good news is that most of these events are free, and the few with a fee or tickets are clearly noted here, so grab the candy bucket and let's make some memories.
