Halloween in the high country is always a night to remember. Crisp autumn air, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, and streets filled with costumed kids (and a few creative adults) make it one of the most festive times of the year. From Main Street celebrations to neighborhood traditions, Summit County knows how to make Halloween feel magical.
Frisco transforms Main Street into a pedestrian-friendly Halloween haven. From 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 31,2025, the street will be closed to vehicles between Madison Avenue and 7th Avenue. Trick-or-treating runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with plenty of sweets from local businesses. Don’t miss the Summit County Animal Shelter Dog Parade at 5:00 p.m. or free train rides at the Historic Park from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.
More Spooky Fun in Breckenridge
For those who love a good scare, Breckenridge offers evening Ghost Tours that weave through the town’s historic streets, sharing eerie stories from the mining era.

Dress smart. Mountain evenings get chilly fast — layer up with sweaters, gloves, or even a cape to stay warm.
Stay visible. Add reflective tape or bring a flashlight or glowstick to keep little ones easy to spot.
Bring a snack. A few nibbles on hand can help kids save their candy haul until after it’s been checked.
Summit County’s Halloween is more than costumes and candy — it’s about gathering with neighbors, sharing traditions, and enjoying a touch of mountain magic together
