The 2026 Halloween events have already passed. I'll refresh this guide for next fall and I'm leaving last season's lineup here so you've still got the history. Halloween in Scottsdale goes way beyond a costume and a bag of candy. This was the full rundown from the only real pumpkin patch inside Scottsdale to Arizona's biggest haunt, toddler-friendly train rides and Old Town bar crawls. Dates and prices are from 2026.
