Spooky Trail Closing Night – Halloween in Saratoga Springs
Spooky Trail Closing Night is Saturday, October 31 at Artisanal Brew Works in Saratoga Springs, marking the final night of our 2026 Halloween trail — plus Night of the Karaoke from 6–9 PM, hosted by JR Music.
Take one last Halloween walk through our wooded trail, enjoy glowing pumpkins, lights, sounds and spooky scenes among the trees, and celebrate Closing Night with Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters, fresh apple cider and Saratoga Apple cider donuts for the kiddos.
Then keep Halloween night going inside with karaoke, costumes, costume contests and prizes from 6–9 PM. Add dinner, drinks and free, easy parking, and you can make an entire Halloween evening of it at Artisanal Brew Works.
One Last Night on the Spooky Trail
Halloween is your final chance to experience the Spooky Trail in 2026.
The trail winds through the woods just beyond Nature’s Edge Terrace, with Halloween displays, glowing jack-o-lanterns, lighting, sounds and surprises tucked throughout the forest.
Like the rest of the season, Closing Night offers two different experiences:
5:30–6:30 PM: Tamer Trail Experience
Designed for younger children and guests who prefer their Halloween fun a little less spooky.
6:30 PM–Close: Spookier Nighttime Experience
As darkness settles into the woods, the trail’s lighting, sounds and nighttime atmosphere become more noticeable.
The Spooky Trail is festive and atmospheric rather than an intense haunted attraction. The regular trail does not feature scare actors jumping out at guests.
Halloween Treats for Closing Night
Since it’s Halloween, we’re adding a few treats to the final night.
We’ll have Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters, along with fresh apple cider and Saratoga Apple cider donuts for the kiddos.
Costumes are welcome, so feel free to arrive dressed for Halloween before heading into the woods.
