Park City gets excited about Halloween

As the ghosts and ghouls FINALLY shake off the grave dust, Park City is ready for the spookiest day of the year. Look no further for the frightfully perfect Halloween in Park City—we’ve rounded up some of the best October amusements to keep you busy until All Hallows’ Eve arrives.

Howl-O-Ween

One of Park City’s most popular Halloween attractions, the Howl-O-Ween dog parade is an annual event dedicated to man’s best friend. Revelers come from all over Park City and beyond with their canine companions dressed in all manner of wacky, whimsical, or spooky costumes. Main Street becomes a fashion runway for four-legged friends as the heart of Park City goes to the dogs.

In addition to the dog parade, Howl-O-Ween boasts plenty of fun activities and treats for the whole family. Dogs aren’t the only ones encouraged to dress up, of course.

Little monsters are invited to trick or treat in the safe environment of Main Street by visiting participating merchants from 3 PM – 6 PM on Halloween. The parade itself begins immediately after.

Park City didn’t just spring up a couple of decades ago as a skier’s paradise. Once upon a time it was a frontier mining town, full of people who lived, died, and maybe didn’t move on. Main Street features a nightly ghost walk at 8:00 p.m. that explores fifteen of Park City’s most hair-raising ghost stories.

One of the best ghost walks in the country, the Park City tour will give you a spooky good time while relating some fascinating history, paranormal and otherwise.

Make sure to keep an eye out for Park City’s most famous ghost: The Man in the Yellow Slicker. Tour guests have experienced many usual occurrences and mysterious apparitions over the years. Who knows what manner of spectral adventures you will uncover? Make your reservations ahead of time.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a jack-o-lantern. And everyone knows that the perfect jack-o-lantern starts with the perfect pumpkin. Perfect pumpkins aren’t found in bins outside groceries stores. They come from pumpkin patches. Park City Nursery just so happens to have an excellent pumpkin patch, littered with truckloads of perfect pumpkins, waiting to be turned into Halloween masterpieces.

Bring the kids, head into the patch, and come back with the perfect gourdy canvas for your best jack-o-lantern. In addition to your orange harvest, make sure to spend some time in the pumpkin maze or the free haunted forest, also located on the property.

All autumn attractions are open during normal operating hours, which are:

  • 8 AM – 6 PM on weekdays
  • 9 AM – 5 PM on Saturdays
  • 10 AM – 5 PM on Sundays.

The nursery is located on the west side of US-224, just north of Canyons Village in Snyderville.
