Lombard Halloween 2026: three ways to spend it
A craft market at Yorktown Center, monster fun at Enchanted Castle, and a Boo Bash at Dave & Buster’s — all before the porch lights go on.
Lombard · Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Halloween is Saturday, October 31, and Lombard has options beyond the porch-light circuit. Here are three local happenings, checked against the venues’ own listings.
The Chicago Spooktacular Craft & Vendor Market takes over Yorktown Center the weekend of October 23–25. Hours are Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 203 Yorktown Shopping Center. Local vendors sell handmade goods, seasonal décor, costumes, treats, and gifts; browsing the market is free. Vendors can still apply through Hometown Vendor Market.
On Halloween itself, Enchanted Castle at 1103 S. Main St. runs its Monster Fun day. A $34.95 wristband covers unlimited go-karts, laser tag, miniature golf, bumper cars, and more from noon to 6 p.m., and trick-or-treating through the park is free from 3 to 8:30 p.m. Costumes are welcome; children must be with a parent or guardian, and candy lasts while supplies do.
Dave & Buster’s in Lombard hosts its Boo Bash the morning of October 31, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. — a family-friendly session with a pancake banquet, costume contest, scavenger hunt, and Monster Mash music. The Boo Bash combo includes a $10 Power Card with three hours of unlimited video game play. It’s a ticketed event; check with the Lombard store for current combo prices. Grown-ups get their own turn after dark: the 18-and-up Moonlight Mixer runs 7 to 10 p.m. with its own banquet and costume contest.
