Trick-or-Treat
Downtown Bozeman is a longtime favorite for Halloween fun – and this year is no exception. Over 100 local businesses will hand out candy from 4pm to 6pm on Halloween, making it the perfect evening kickoff. Afterwards, the action shifts to the residential area of downtown Bozeman, where families can continue the fun with traditional trick-or-treating. Don’t forget your spooky costumes, and you’ll leave with lots of candy!
Mazes
Since 1998, Bozeman Maze has been a must-visit attraction in Gallatin Valley. Located off E Valley Center Road, this family-friendly spot creates a brand-new corn maze each year, making sure there’s always a fresh challenge for both kids and adults! Bozeman Maze also features hay rides and a mini train – an unforgettable autumn adventure! https://bozemanmaze.com/
