Halloween Events in Nashville for Families

Halloween in Nashville stretches across most of October, and the family-friendly stuff is spread across church parking lots, town squares, zoos, farms, and neighborhood streets in every county around the city. This directory pulls it together: trunk-or-treats, costume parades, downtown trick-or-treat walks, pumpkin carving events, not-too-scary trails and hayrides, Halloween festivals, and the haunted attractions that work for tweens and teens.

Trick-or-treat night itself falls on Saturday, October 31 this year. Most towns don't set official hours; if yours does, it'll be on the city's site. Pairing Halloween with a farm trip? Our pumpkin patches near Nashville directory has the patches we know of around Nashville, with dates and admission.
