90+ Halloween Events in the Triangle for 2026
Halloween season is here across Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill: parties, trick-or-treating, ghost tours, spooky movies and costume events for kids and grown-ups, with dates, tickets and details below.
Every October, the Triangle goes full haunted. Trick-or-treat trails, ghost tours, haunted houses, costume parties and spooky movie nights take over neighborhoods, farms, theaters and downtown streets from Raleigh to Chapel Hill.
Most of these are free or cheap, outdoors or after-dark, and built for families — plus grown-up scares for the brave. Some run a single night, others stretch across weekends, so check dates and ticket links before you head out.
