It is the Spooky Month!
"Printable" is updated frequently since only so much information fits on a page.
I do my best to update it any Monday or any time there is important breaking news.
"Candy Cornfield" is a list of everything going on that's not spooky in case you have spookable kids
or just anyone in your life that doesn't like frights.
"Butte Halloween Timeline" is a spreadsheet that allows you to compare times for events and plan your day.
You can view the source document as I edit it in real time by following this link.
Plans are underway for this year.
Multiple maps will allow far more destinations.

Featuring:
Duelist
w/ GARBARGE
& Almost Empathy
Duelist is a Western Black Metal band hailing from the rugged landscapes of (Butte) Montana. Their sound captures the ferocity of Black Metal, infused with the mournful twang of the Old West, creating a unique fusion that’s as raw and untamed as the land and history that inspires them. Duelist takes you on a journey through the windswept plains, rugged mountains, and ghost towns where the echoes of gunfights and Outlaws sing.
GARBARGE is a garage death metal band, "riffs from upper management" out of Bozeman, MT.
Almost Empathy is a 5 piece hardcore-punk band from Butte, Montana consisting of Miranda Fahnestock on vocals, Connor Whelan and Cody Peterson on guitars, Nick Bonney on Bass and Conor Powers on drums

We are not affiliated with Montana Haunted Attractions in any way, but they're the official go-to statewide attraction directory.
Butte Halloween focuses on locations within a 2-hour drive of our hometown of Butte, America, including Anaconda, Whitehall, Deer Lodge, Helena, Bozeman, Dillon, and points in-between.
We have nothing against Missoula, Great Falls, or Billings, they're just not in our jurisdiction. These guys have the scoop on any place in the state worth a 2+ hour drive.
Destination Montana has a listing for local Missoula events.
Visit Great Falls has a similar one.
Billings has a Facebook Page for local Halloween events and Billings 365 maintains a Halloween listing as well.
This list is the best I found for the Kalispell area.
If you're wondering why Butte Halloween, LLC hasn't been as active as in years past, the quick answer is that it blew apart in the apocalypse of 2020 and hasn't been reformed yet... but it will be! Plans are underway to form Butte Halloween, Inc. next fall in 2025. The reason is that, as some of you will know, the Offutt Family has long been at the heart of Butte Halloween's activities, with Gabriel Offutt having served as President of the LLC the entire time it was in operation. Now one of his sons is 18, and the other turns 18 in October of 2025, at which point the three of them will be enough to legally run Butte Halloween as an 501c3 Corporation.
This means we'll be able to get back to doing our more ambitious projects like The Butte Halloween Carnival and potentially a lot more fun things in the off season.
Stay tuned for more details!

Butte is passionate about Halloween and we want to create a space to share that passion with others. Our purpose is to provide a platform for Halloween enthusiasts to come together and celebrate spooky fun all year.
We value creativity, inclusivity, and fun. We believe that Halloween is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. We also believe in emphasizing the more wholesome parts of our culture and providing alternatives to the more addictive or dangerous influences in town.
We are committed to tracking down, cataloging, and sharing everything spooky, silly, or fun in our area. We update whenever we learn something new, and there's always something happening, so check back often.
