Halloween lands on a Saturday in 2026, and Boulder City has more than one way to use the week well. The practical choice is to pick one main event, then keep dinner, parking, and kid stamina simple.
- The Halloween run starts early with the Best Dam Wine Walk on Saturday, Oct. 10.
- The family-heavy weekend is Oct. 24 and 25, with BOOlevard downtown and Halloween Express train rides at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
- Fergie’s Fun Fright runs Oct. 23 to 25 and Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m.
- The Fright Zone at Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum is the scarier pick, with October dates from 7 to 10 p.m.
- PumpkinMAN brings race traffic into town on Halloween morning, Oct. 31.
Use this as the local shortlist, then check the linked organizer pages before you buy tickets or load the kids in the car. Event schedules can change fast in October.
What are the main Boulder City Halloween events in 2026?
The main Boulder City Halloween events for 2026 are the Best Dam Wine Walk on Oct. 10, Halloween Express train rides on Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25, BOOlevard on Oct. 24, Fergie’s Fun Fright on Oct. 23 to 25 and Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, The Fright Zone at Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum, and PumpkinMAN on Oct. 31.
That gives Boulder City two different Halloween lanes. Families can stay with downtown trick-or-treating, the library, the train, and the food-drive maze. Older teens and adults can look at Tom Devlin’s haunted-house nights, the wine walk, and race-weekend plans around Wilbur Square.
For a fuller event calendar, keep our Boulder City events guide open. If you are traveling with kids, our Boulder City Halloween with kids guide narrows the list to the easier family stops.
Which Halloween event is best for little kids?
BOOlevard and the Halloween Express are the easiest picks for younger kids. BOOlevard runs in the Historic District from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24. Halloween Express is a non-scary train event at the Nevada State Railroad Museum with evening time slots on three October weekends.
Boulder City Events lists BOOlevard as a free Main Street Boulder City event in Historic Downtown Boulder City. The posted time is 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, which is helpful if you need daylight, sidewalks, and an early exit.
The Nevada State Railroad Museum lists Halloween Express dates on Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25. The museum page shows evening event blocks, and the Chamber calendar lists 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. time slots. If your child gets tired quickly, choose the earliest ticket.
Before the train, check our Nevada State Railroad Museum directory page for the local address and nearby notes. The museum is close enough to downtown that dinner afterward does not need to turn into a second outing.
Where should adults go for scarier Halloween plans?
The Fright Zone at Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum is the scarier Boulder City Halloween option. The Chamber calendar lists the haunted-house event from 7 to 10 p.m. on multiple October nights, with a $35 ticket that includes Blackwell Manor and Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum.
This is the one to separate from the little-kid plan. The Chamber listing describes Blackwell Manor as a haunted house with eerie rooms, sinister characters, practical effects, and surprises. Keep the kids on BOOlevard, Halloween Express, or Fergie’s if you want a lighter night.
If you have visitors in town, pair The Fright Zone with our Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum directory page or our longer Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum guide. The location on Boulder City Parkway is easy to explain to guests coming from Henderson or Las Vegas.
What is Fergie’s Fun Fright?
Fergie’s Fun Fright is a free community Halloween event at 1400 Monterey Drive with a blacklight maze, a kid-friendly section, a scarier section, a photo wall, and a food-drive tie-in. The 2026 dates are Oct. 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, and Nov. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m.
The Fergie’s Fun Fright site lists the 2026 dates and times. The Chamber calendar adds that the maze has two sections, so families can choose the lighter side, the scarier side, or both.
This is a private-home event, so be a good neighbor. Park legally, keep driveways clear, and bring pantry items if the food-drive note still appears on the current event page when you go.
Is there a Halloween event for adults who do not want a haunted house?
The Best Dam Wine Walk Halloween Costume Walk is the adult Halloween pick without jump scares. The Chamber event page lists it for Saturday, Oct. 10, from 4 to 8 p.m., with check-in at Frank Crowe Park from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 online or $35 at the door.
The official event page says participants must be 21 or older and need physical ID. Frank Crowe Park is at 640 Nevada Way, so this is a downtown plan from the start.
If you are staying for food, our Boulder City restaurants guide is the safer link to send the group chat. For a local coffee-and-bookstore stop earlier in the day, see Dam Roast House and Browder Bookstore.
What should runners and cyclists know about Halloween morning?
PumpkinMAN is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, with race activity tied to Lake Mead and Boulder City. The official race page lists Boulder City as the finish area and describes a course that starts at Lake Mead, climbs into town, and finishes at Wilbur Square.
The PumpkinMAN page from BBSC Endurance Sports lists Oct. 31, 2026. The Chamber calendar places the event from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Wilbur Square and Bicentennial Park. If you are not racing, expect more cars, bikes, and closed-off pockets around the park area that morning.
For visitors, this is also a good reason to keep the rest of the day simple. Walk downtown, eat nearby, and leave extra time before any timed ticket later on Halloween.
What is the easiest way to plan the week?
Pick by age and time first. Younger kids get BOOlevard, Halloween Express, library crafts, or Fergie’s Fun Fright. Adults get the wine walk, The Fright Zone, or PumpkinMAN. Families with mixed ages should choose one ticketed event and one flexible downtown stop, not three timed commitments.
Here is the clean version:
- Oct. 10: Best Dam Wine Walk Halloween Costume Walk.
- Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25: Boulder City Halloween Express.
- Oct. 23 and 24: Boulder City Chautauqua at Boulder Creek Pavilion.
- Oct. 23 to 25 and Oct. 30 to Nov. 1: Fergie’s Fun Fright.
- Oct. 24: BOOlevard downtown and Boo-Gie Bash at the Boulder City Library.
- Oct. 31: PumpkinMAN and Halloween night events.
The Chautauqua is not a Halloween scare event, but it lands on the same weekend as BOOlevard, Fergie’s, the train, and The Fright Zone. The Boulder City Events calendar lists it for Oct. 23 and 24 at Boulder Creek Golf Club Pavilion, with $20 tickets per performance.
If the family is split, that weekend is your best bet. One group can do the downtown and train plan. Another can choose Chautauqua or The Fright Zone. Everyone can still meet for food in town.

Halloween in Boulder City is better when you do less. Pick the event that matches your group, verify the source link, and leave enough time for parking, food, and one unplanned stop downtown.
