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.
Frosted Flamingo’s Becca Spiro will be hosting her first Halloween event in her business’s new home on Airport Road this Halloween. She wanted to create a midday activity for families, since there’s no school on October 31.
The event will run from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with activities like spooky glasses and face painting. From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. the event is open to all ages, and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. it’s just for adults.
Tickets range from around $23 to $65 and can be purchased at The Frosted Flamingo Mobile Art Studio.
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.
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. You can also catch seasonal performances at the Breckenridge Theater, where local talent brings both spooky and lighthearted productions to life during the Halloween season.
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
