A Vermont Halloween: What to Do on Halloween Weekend

Halloween in Vermont is one of our favorite times of the year, and it’s the absolute best way to celebrate the final weekend before stick season. Here’s how you can make the most of Halloween weekend in Vermont this year:

Take time to explore Vermont’s haunted history. Vermont is rich in history and folklore, making it an ideal place for ghost stories and haunted happenings. For those interested in the supernatural, take advantage of local ghost tours and haunted walks. These tours take you through some of the state’s oldest towns and landmarks, blending historical facts with spine-tingling tales. You’ll get a mix of eerie storytelling while learning more about Vermont’s past, offering a fun yet chilling way to celebrate the season.

No Halloween is complete without a visit to a pumpkin patch or corn maze! Many farms across Vermont offer seasonal activities like pumpkin picking, hayrides, and corn mazes. These spots are perfect for a daytime outing with the family or an evening adventure with friends. Searching for the perfect pumpkin to carve or navigating through a cornfield under the stars are both great ways to get into the Halloween spirit while enjoying Vermont’s beautiful fall landscapes.

Throughout Halloween weekend, towns and cities in Vermont host community events that bring out the best of the season. From costume parades and family-friendly festivals to spooky performances, there’s always something happening. Many towns embrace the holiday with Halloween-themed parties, complete with live music, costume contests, and even Halloween markets where you can grab festive treats or fall-inspired crafts. These events are a great way to connect with the local community while embracing the fun side of Halloween.

While Halloween weekend is a time for costumes and candy, it’s also an opportunity to experience Vermont’s famous fall foliage. The state’s iconic red, orange, and yellow leaves create a perfect backdrop for any Halloween activity including trick-or-treating, visiting a haunted house, or simply taking a scenic drive. The natural beauty of Vermont in the fall adds an extra layer of magic to the holiday, making even the simplest of activities feel festive.

Another perk of spending Halloween in Vermont is the abundance of seasonal flavors to enjoy. Local bakeries, cafés, and restaurants provide a variety of fall treats—cider doughnuts, pumpkin inspired creations, and fresh apple pies. Be sure to visit local markets or farm stands for fresh fall produce and Vermont-made treats.

With a blend of haunted history, fall fun, and community celebrations, Halloween weekend in Vermont is always a great time!
