October in Edina is about more than just pumpkins and candy. It's about the laughter of kids collecting treats and the warm smiles of neighbors who turn the season into a community celebration. From glow-in-the-dark mini golf to costume swaps and indoor trick-or-treat adventures, Edina's fall calendar is packed with Halloween happenings for every age.
Glow Golf Nights at Centennial Lakes Park
As the sun sets earlier, Centennial Lakes Park turns up the fun with Glow Golf Nights — glowing golf balls and illuminated greens make for a completely different (and totally magical) mini golf experience. The event runs Thursday through Saturday evenings through mid-October. Check the Edina Parks and Recreation calendar for current-year dates and hours.
Pumpkin Decorating at Kowalski's Market
Kowalski's Market invites families to get creative with pumpkin decorating each October. The hands-on event is available at Kowalski's locations across the metro — a fun, low-key way to kick off the spooky season together.
Costume Swap at Edina Senior Center
Before you hit the costume shops, check out the Edina Senior Center's annual Costume Swap — a community exchange of gently used costumes that's as friendly to your wallet as it is to the planet. Drop off what your kids have outgrown and pick up something new-to-you for this year's festivities.
HalloBoo at Edinborough Park
HalloBoo is Edinborough Park's beloved indoor trick-or-treat event, featuring costumed characters, games, and activities in a fully climate-controlled environment — ideal for Minnesota's notoriously unpredictable late-October weather. Registration is required and spots fill fast, so check edinamn.gov early for current-year dates and registration links.
Trick-or-Treat at 50th & France
Local shops and restaurants at 50th & France open their doors each October for a daytime trick-or-treat event perfect for younger ghouls and goblins. After collecting your treats, catch a film at the historic Mann Theatre right in the neighborhood — a fitting double feature for the season.
Boo Bash at Dave & Buster's (Southdale Center)
Cap off Halloween at Dave & Buster's inside Southdale Center with the Boo Bash — crafts, games, and unlimited simulator play alongside a costume contest and a 15% food discount for participants in costume. It's the perfect finale for a family Halloween in Edina.
