Okay so this is everything going on in Salt Lake County this fall and then Christmas, the big stuff like WitchFest and Wheeler Farm and Temple Square and the little town stuff in West Jordan and Riverton and Murray, all in one place. Tap anything you want to do and I'll put it on your bucket list for you, and if you want the addresses and the dates and all that, "make my plan" builds it and puts it on your calendar.
Last updated September 28, 2026. Dates come from each event's own page and I recheck them all season, but tap the link and double check before you load up the car.
The ones people drive in from other counties for. Most of them run the whole season, so you don't have to pick a weekend yet.
The city Halloween parties and the trunk or treats and the free stuff. Cities post their 2026 dates late, so anything marked "check the date" gets fixed the second it's announced.
These don't need an address, tap them and they go on your list with everything else.
GENTRI is confirmed for Nov 27 and 28, and the rest show last year's windows until they post. Christkindlmarkt is only four days and Hale's Christmas Carol sells out, so those are the ones to plan first.
The town stuff, and I'll add the tree lightings as the cities post them in November.
This is the at-home stuff, tap them and they go on your list with the lights and the train.
Tap the lights and the trains and the town stuff you want and pick the Christmas design you like, and I'll hold onto your picks. The Christmas lists are coming soon, and the second they're up your picks drop straight into the slots.
The stuff that doesn't need a date, for the Saturday when nothing's going on.
WitchFest runs September 18 through October 31, 2026 at Gardner Village in West Jordan. Walking the witch displays and doing the scavenger hunt is free, and the breakfasts and dinner shows are ticketed and sell out.
The Riverton Halloween Bash on October 12, the county library Halloween movies every Monday in October at the Viridian in West Jordan, the library costume swap on October 17, the WitchFest displays at Gardner Village, the Wheeler Farm pumpkin patch (free to walk in), and a leaf drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Silver Lake.
Temple Square downtown (free), ZooLights at Hogle Zoo, Lightwalk at Tracy Aviary in Liberty Park, Christmas in Color in South Jordan, and the Lantern Festival at the aquarium in Draper.
It starts December 2, 2026 at This is the Place Heritage Park, runs four days from 11 to 8, and it is free to get in.
The Natural History Museum of Utah, Discovery Gateway children's museum, Clark Planetarium (the exhibits are free), and the aquarium in Draper.
We roadschool six kids out of a van. I'm just a mom with a Ford Transit and a lot of opinions about corn mazes, so if something on here is wrong, or your town's party is missing, email me at hello@bellebucket.com and I'll fix it.
Tap the ones you want and I'll drop them onto whichever fall design you pick, then you add your own stuff (birthdays, carving pumpkins, whatever your family does). It prints big, like 24x36 big, and it hangs on the wall all season.
Your picks go straight into the slots and you finish the rest over there. Nothing's ordered until you say so.
The calendar button works on iPhone and Android and downloads a file for Google Calendar or Outlook. Anything marked "check the date" goes in as an all day reminder so you don't forget to look it up.
