Halloween events in Buffalo have been popping up on the calendar all week! It’s great to see the calendar come back to life after so many months without anything going on around town. That said, while there are a lot of Halloween events in WNY, many of them look at little different than in years past.
With COVID-19 still looming, many of these events have been “reimagined” and reworked to be safe for social distancing so there may be capacity restrictions. While we’ve made every effort to provide complete, up to date information, before you gather your little ghosts and goblins and head out, please check the event’s website and/or call them to confirm details.
Recurring Events Happening Throughout the Month
The following is a list of Halloween events in Buffalo that are happening multiple times throughout the month. Please check the event details for specifics.
- Craft and Carry with Kenilworth Branch Library – Monster Magnets – Free take home crafting kits for kids ages 5 – 10. This month features Monster Magnets.
More information - Pay What You Can at Explore & More – Pay What You Can this October at Explore & More thanks to a generous grant from the New Car Dealers of Western New York. That means you and your family are welcome to come play at the museum for whatever suits your budget! With so much spooky fun to be had at a price you choose- either $3, $5, $8 or $11, what are you waiting for? Please check our website for the latest hours of operation and safety precautions.
