Halloween Week in Colorado Springs — Free Family Events Before Oct. 31

With Halloween six days away, there are still a handful of family events left on the Colorado Springs calendar before October 31 arrives. If your family is looking for something to do this week beyond the usual trick-or-treating prep, here's what's coming up.

As always, verify times and details directly with each venue before heading out — schedules can change, and a quick check saves a wasted trip.

Fleet Feet Halloween Fun Run — Thursday, October 30

Fleet Feet Colorado Springs hosts a Halloween Fun Run on Thursday, October 30, starting at 6 PM. The route is a free 5K to Palmer Park, and the event is open to kids, adults, and dogs. Costumes are strongly encouraged, and prizes are typically awarded for best costume.

This is one of the better mid-week options for families with older kids who want something active before Halloween. It's low-key, free, and uses one of Colorado Springs' most scenic park routes. Fleet Feet's website or social media will have any last-minute details.

SoccerHaus Indoor Family Halloween Festival — Friday, October 31

For families who want an indoor Halloween option — or whose trick-or-treating plans wrap up early — the SoccerHaus Indoor Family Halloween Festival at 4845 List Drive is worth knowing about. The event typically runs from 2 PM to 8 PM on Halloween, with free admission.

Activities have included bounce houses, treat stations, face painting, a photo booth, karaoke, and a sensory-friendly hour from 2:30 to 3:30 PM. The event is organized by Connecting Communities and benefits Aedyn's Backpack Club, a local anti-bullying nonprofit.

Verify 2026 dates and hours at connectingcommunities.co or on the Connecting Communities Facebook page before going. This event has been consistent across past years, but confirmation for 2026 is recommended.

Additional Resources

For a broader list of Halloween and fall events happening across Colorado Springs, the City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services department maintains an events calendar at coloradosprings.gov/parks. El Pomar's America the Beautiful Park and other city-maintained spaces sometimes host community events through October.

What's Next

Halloween night itself is Friday, October 31. The Colorado Springs trick-or-treat window is typically 5:30 to 8 PM in most neighborhoods, though individual neighborhoods and HOA communities may have their own times. If you're heading out trick-or-treating, the safety checklist article — reflective tape, flashlights, face paint over full masks, and adult supervision for kids under 12 — is worth a quick read before you leave the house.

After Halloween, the COS family calendar shifts quickly: November brings D11's bond election on November 3 and the weather shift that typically starts pulling outdoor family activity toward indoor options.
