Halloween in Yuma AZ 2026: Things to Do This Weekend

Halloween in Yuma AZ lands on a Saturday this year, and the weekend of October 30 to November 1, 2026 is stacked. If you are looking for things to do in Yuma this Halloween weekend, start here. Families get a free, police hosted candy walk at the fairgrounds, trunk or treats across town, the final two nights of Yuma Nightmares, and even night golf in the Foothills. Grown ups get their own party on Friday night. Here is the plan, with times, places, and prices, so you can pick your night and go.

What is happening in Yuma on Friday, October 30?

Little kids get an early start. Keller Williams Yuma hosts a free trick or treat from 9 to 11 am at its office at 2553 E. 24th St., so bring the kids in costume before lunch. After dark, Yuma Nightmares opens its final weekend at 15485 S. Avenue 4E, from 7 to 10 pm. Tickets are $17 on Friday and $18 on Halloween night, last entry is 9:30 pm, and a $3 Fast Pass at the gate moves you to the front of the line. For something calmer, Foothills Par 3 runs night golf from 6 to 9 pm on Friday and Saturday, with a deli and bar on site. And for adults only, Z Fun Factory at 4446 E. County 10th St. throws its 7th annual adult Halloween party from 10 pm to 2 am, ages 21 and up with ID, $5 admission.

Where should families go on Halloween in Yuma, Saturday, October 31?

The big one is Scary and Safe at the Yuma County Fairgrounds, 2520 E. 32nd St., from 5 to 8 pm. The Yuma Police Department, the City of Yuma, and local businesses set up booths full of candy, and kids walk the route in costume. It is organized, well lit, and easy for parents, which is why so many Yuma families make it their main stop. Also at 5 pm, VFW Post 1763 hosts a free trunk or treat at 2485 E. 14th St., with candy and family activities, a nice option for military families who want a smaller, friendly crowd. Up at the lake, Fishers Landing Resort starts its Halloween party with a kids costume contest at 5 pm, followed by trunk or treating from 5:30 to 6 pm. Out in Wellton, High Tanks Brewing Company throws its Bizarre Brewers Ball starting at 4 pm, with a costume contest for people and one for dogs too.

What is open on Sunday, November 1 in Yuma?

Sunday is the slow day, and that is the point. Sort the candy, sleep in, and take an easy walk at Gateway Park or the East Wetlands while the weather sits in the high 70s. Football fans, remember the clock change. Arizona keeps its clocks, but the East Coast falls back on Sunday, so early NFL games start at 11 am here instead of 10 am. If you are house hunting, Sunday afternoon is also a smart time to drive the neighborhoods you liked in daylight, from the Foothills to east Yuma, before the work week starts.

What is coming up next weekend in Yuma?

Save a little energy, because November 7 and 8 is another big weekend. YumaCon runs Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8. The Walk to End Alzheimers steps off Saturday morning, November 7, the Somerton Corn Festival is Saturday, November 7, the holiday tree lighting at Yuma Palms is Saturday at 3 pm, and the Turkey Trot 5K and 10K runs Sunday morning, November 8. Fall in Yuma is the reward for surviving summer, and the calendar proves it.

Why do weekends like this matter if you are thinking about living in Yuma?

Because this is the real product. A town where the police department hosts your kids on Halloween, veterans open their post for trunk or treat, and a brewery in Wellton runs a costume contest for dogs is a town that shows up for each other. Winter visitors feel it the first weekend they are back. Military families at MCAS Yuma feel it when a VFW post treats their kids like neighbors. If you are visiting this weekend and thinking, we could live here, that feeling is worth trusting.
