From 10 AM - 12 PM, visit businesses on Barstow Street running from Lake Street to Wisconsin Street. Visit the Downtown Eau Claire Inc. (DECI) website to stay up-to-date on Halloween events!
Pumpkin Patches
Roaming around pumpkin patches, enjoying hay barrel rides, and drinking loads of fresh apple cider... if there’s a better way to spend an autumn day, we can’t think of it. Luckily, autumn in Wisconsin is unbeatable and Eau Claire takes advantage of that. Head over to one of the many pumpkin patches, such as Govin's Farm, Valley Pasture Farm, Ferguson’s Apple Orchard, or Leffel Roots, and find the plumpest and best pumpkin around to carve and make your own!
Orchards
It's not October in Wisconsin without a visit to an apple orchard. If you're looking for "Fall Fun", Eau Claire's orchards are it. You'll get to pick your own apples, bite into some scrumptious apple cider donuts, find your way through corn mazes, and much more!
Haunted Houses & Trails
Around here, Halloween is celebrated the entire month of October with spooky corn mazes, creepy trails & hayrides, and frightening haunted houses. Starting at the end of September, put your detective skills to the test at the Schlegelmilch House Escape Room with the theme "Mystery at Schlegelmilch." On October 19, 2024, head to the Chippewa Valley Museum for another chilling Halloween event at the Chippewa Valley Museum's Carson Park Skelebration and Boo Bash! See performances from the Chippewa Valley Theatre Guild, listen to scary stories, and take part in more family-friendly activities. Click here to learn more about the event.
Also starting in September, you can book a ride on the Chippewa River Trolley for a Dark History Tour of Eau Claire. Hear exclusive tales about Eau Claire's scandals, crimes, and peculiar hauntings through the decades.
If you're a real thrill-seeker, step it up a notch and visit the Field of Screams Haunted Barn & Trail and Screamin' Hollow Haunted Trail for a spooky attraction at night. If corn mazes are your thing, check out the incredible and huge mazes at Leffel Roots and Govin's Farm throughout the month of October.
