Get ready to put on your best costumes and gather up your little goblins, ghosts, and ghouls for this year’s BOO at the Bridge – a family Halloween event you don’t want to miss. Our skeleton crew is brewing up some crazy fun activities and entertainment to celebrate the 10th year of BOO at the Bridge!

Whether you’re a local Coloradan or just visiting this beautiful state during the enchanting fall season, our Halloween event is sure to delight families with tricks and treats. Visitors of all ages will have a hauntingly good time at this Halloween adventure at America’s Highest Suspension Bridge.

A Decade of Sweet Halloween Events

Since BOO at the Bridge began in 2014, our Halloween event has become synonymous with great times, sweet treats, and unforgettable memories for families across Colorado.

Check out some of these spooky tales about BOO at the Bridge:
– Over $100,000 worth of candy has been handed out to trick-or-treaters since BOO’s inception. Can you imagine the size of the cauldron we need to fit all that candy? That’s a lot of sweet smiles!

– More than 20,000 people have attended BOO at the Bridge! That’s a whole lot of families who have made this event part of their Halloween tradition. We imagine the magic of our Spooktacular event brings people from all over Colorado to America’s Highest Suspension Bridge—locals and visitors alike.

– About 40 vendors participate each year, offering games, candy, and interactive booths for everyone to enjoy. This year, we’re aiming for even more local partners, which means even more candy and fun experiences for families to enjoy!

The impact of these numbers on the local community is enormous. From the families who come year after year to the businesses that partner with us, BOO at the Bridge helps create lasting memories and brings people together from far and wide. We know some attendees travel from El Paso and Pueblo counties, and perhaps even farther, to experience the wonders of BOO at the Bridge—and that makes us proud!
