🎯 Tips & Planning Advice

• Bookmark the official Denton Halloween calendar. Because there are 200+ events, having a master calendar will help you pick your top ones.

• Check for ticketed vs free events. Some haunted attractions, maze events, or performances may require tickets; others are free or donation-based.

• Mind the weather & daylight. Some events happen in daylight (family friendly), others are after dark (haunted tours, mazes). Plan accordingly (jackets, flashlights, cameras).

• Do early arrival. Popular events like coffin races, pumpkin drops, or performances draw crowds. Arriving early can get better views.

• Mix kid-friendly and spooky. If your group has children, choose a blend: haunted tours or mazes in the evening, family events like Trunk or Treat earlier.

• Parking & walking. For downtown Denton events, parking may fill quickly. Be prepared to walk or use alternate parking and ride or walk.

• Stay in the loop. Some events are added last minute or have changes—follow social media pages for updates. Denton Halloween has an active presence.
