Trick or Treat in Brainerd!

Halloween events are the best in Brainerd, MN with fall colors around and a (usually) mild fall temperature. The Brainerd Lakes Area is home to an evening full of family friendly Halloween and Trick or Treat events. Brainerd businesses and churches also host several Trunk or Treat events for a safe alternative to Trick or Treat. Brainerd Halloween events last through the afternoon and into the evening so either catch them all or make it to one or two for a Halloween to remember.

Please Contact Us if you are a local business or venue hosting a Brainerd Halloween Event.
