← Halloween weekend

What we checked

Every candidate we found for this weekend gets a verdict. These are the ones that didn't make the list, and why. 290 candidates considered in total; 209 made it.

Not on these dates 9

• All Aboard the Pumpkin Patch Trolley · East Haven
  The museum's program calendar lists All Aboard the Pumpkin Patch Trolley on Oct 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 24 and 25 only. There are no dates on Oct 30, Oct 31 or Nov 1.
• Diva Royale / Werkin' Girls / Drag Bingo drag shows · New Haven
  Eventbrite's New Haven drag search, fetched Oct 30, 2026, shows the next date for each series: Diva Royale at Jazzy's Cabaret on Fri, Nov 6, 7:00 PM (+351 more); Werkin Girls on Fri, Nov 6, 7:00 PM; and Drag Bingo New Haven on Thu, Nov 5, 7:00 PM. None performs on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026. Vivid Seats also shows no current Diva Royale events.
• East Haven Rotary Trunk or Treat · East Haven
  The Oct 31, 4–7 PM sessions at Foxon and Town Beach were earlier editions (Patch and zip06 coverage from past years). Mommy Poppins' 2026 trunk-or-treat roundup puts the 2026 East Haven Rotary Trunk or Treat on Sat Oct 24, 2026, 5:30–8 pm, at East Haven Middle School. That is before the Oct 30–Nov 1 window. No Rotary page confirming it was found.
• Halloween Luminaries at Cliffside Brewing · Wallingford
  Cliffside Brewing's craft schedule on Occasion lists the luminaries workshop on 10/17, with no year given. No date in the Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026 window was found. A CTMQ page reports that Cliffside Brewing (16 Center St, Wallingford) closed in late May 2023, so this listing is likely from a past year.
• Innervein & Mister 33 w/ Project Flora and Wish · New Haven
  The venue's show page says Thursday, October 29, 2026: doors 8pm, music 9pm, ending 1am Friday. The show starts the night before the window, and only its after-midnight tail falls on Oct 30.
• Pre-Halloween Dance Party with DJ Skillz · New Haven
  Daily Nutmeg's roundup, dated Oct 27, 2026, lists the DJ Skillz free pre-Halloween dance party in BAR's front rooms on Thursday, Oct 29, 9 pm–12:30 am, no cover. That's the day before the window. The same roundup lists a separate BAR Halloween Costume Party with DJ JD on Fri Oct 30 at 9 pm. That is a different event and isn't covered by this record. BAR's own site lists no events.
• Spooktacular Movie Night: Hocus Pocus · Woodbridge
  The library's LibCal page dates the screening Thursday, Oct 29, 2026, 6:15–8:30 PM. That's the day before the window. The page also says registration has closed.
• Wallingford Halloween Parade/Celebration · Wallingford
  WFSB's 2026 guide lists the Wallingford Halloween Parade/Celebration at Center & Prince Sts on Oct 23, 2026, 3–9 p.m., which is before the window. I found no 2026 merchant or town trick-or-treat event on Oct 31. The Patch road-closure article is from 2019 and isn't evidence for 2026. Searches returned only older posts, most about Wallingford in Seattle.
• Werkin Girls Drag Queen Show · New Haven
  Eventbrite's New Haven drag search, fetched Oct 30, 2026, shows the next Werkin Girls performance as Fri, Nov 6, 7:00 PM (+123 more dates). That matches the earlier lead, so there is no performance on Oct 30, Oct 31 or Nov 1.

Out of scope (concerts, private, etc.) 11

• ANEW Conference 2026 · New Haven
  Eventbrite describes an all-day conference for Christians working in campus ministries, hosted by Yale University ACF. It is a professional and ministry gathering for a specific constituency, not a public event.
• Aerial Yoga + Halotherapy · Milford
  This is a six-week paid course ($240 + tax for six sessions, Oct 31–Dec 19, capped at six people), not a one-off public event. The Patch listing confirms the Oct 31, 12–1 p.m. first session at Salt Sanctuary.
• Creative Arts Workshop weekend classes · New Haven
  These are paid, multi-week courses that require registration, not public events. Fall Color Painting is a 6-session course (Saturdays 1–4 pm, Oct 31–Dec 5, $415, ages 18+). Family Mixed Media is a 4-session course (Oct 24–Nov 21) that has no class on Oct 31 and is closed to registration. CAW's site has no page for 'Stuff to Art'.
• Family Day! (Barcade New Haven) · New Haven
  This is a standing weekend program, not a discrete event. AllEvents lists Barcade's 'Family Day' as every Saturday and Sunday, 12–5pm, from Oct 3 to Nov 1, 2026, offering regular arcade and food service with kids allowed. barcade.com would not load (certificate error, then 404) to confirm it.
• Halloween at Malby · New Haven
  Daily Nutmeg's Oct 27–31, 2026 Halloween roundup (seen only through search snippets; the page returned 429) lists Malby Artisan Bread on Sat Oct 31, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., selling spooky pastries and welcoming visitors in costume. That is the bakery's normal opening hours with themed baked goods, so it counts as a seasonal food special, not an event. The bakery's own post on Instagram could not be read.
• New Haven Museum exhibitions · New Haven
  These are ongoing exhibitions under regular museum admission. The exhibitions page lists no events for Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026, and no special program was found for the weekend.
• North Haven Trunk or Treat · North Haven
  Removed in source audit: The town brochure confirms Oct 31, 2026, 3:15–4:15 p.m., but the event is limited to North Haven residents who pre-registered in person with proof of residency and a license plate. Registration began Sept 21 and walk-ins are barred, so it isn't open to the public. The second source describes a different location (the high school) and gives no 2026 details.
• Sunflower Farm · Orange
  Sunflower Farm is a farm stand and garden center that sells mums, pumpkins and holiday items during set retail hours. No pumpkin patch event, festival or special program was found for 2026. The farm's website (sunflowerfarm.com) no longer resolves. The only hours available are undated and conflict between sources (noon–6 or noon–5 weekdays, 10–6 or 10–5 weekends).
• Super Sunday · Woodbridge
  The Federation's event page dates it Sun Nov 1, 2026, 10:00 AM–12:30 PM at the JCC. It's a one-day volunteer fundraising drive for the 2027 Annual Campaign, a volunteer shift rather than a public event for attendees.
• The DeManches Famous Halloween Party · Wallingford
  The Happening Next event page (eid3a0dwd308u) lists the party for Sat Oct 31, 2026 at 6 pm in Wallingford Center on North Main St. It's a private family house party: the DeManches family is throwing it to thank supporters of their benefit and GoFundMe campaigns, and asks guests to RSVP to them. There's no ticketing and no public organizer page, and no other source mentions it. It isn't a public event.
• WCT Guilford Halloween Party · Guilford
  The AllEvents listing shows this is a party at World Champion Taekwondo Guilford, a martial-arts school, held Fri Oct 30, 2026, 4–6 pm. It is aimed at the school's students, who can bring a friend for a free lesson, games, dodgeball and treats. That makes it a customer and promotional event rather than a public one. The school's own page was not checked.

Cancelled or moved 3

• Drazen Orchards · Cheshire
  NBC Connecticut reported on June 25, 2026, that Drazen Orchards in Cheshire is permanently closed and won't reopen for the foreseeable future, so there's no fall 2026 season. The orchard's website wouldn't load (certificate error).
• Norton Brothers Fruit Farm · Cheshire
  NBC Connecticut reports the farm and farm stand closed permanently as of May 2025, and the farm's domain now redirects to a web designer's page showing a 'closed' sign.
• Rocky in Concert · Wallingford
  Ticketmaster's Toyota Oakdale Theatre venue page lists Rocky in Concert on Sun Nov 1 2026 at 7:00 PM with the status Cancelled. Resale sites still show the listing.

Outside the area 3

• Halloween Brew Maze at Lyman Orchards · Middlefield
  Lyman Orchards is in Middlefield, which isn't in the contract's list of greater New Haven communities. I didn't verify the date further.
• Jay Day Fall Family Festival · Rye, NY
  No Jay Day event exists in Guilford, CT. The Jay Day Fall Family Festival is held by the Jay Heritage Center in Rye, NY, and its 2026 date is Sunday, September 27, so it is also outside the window.
• Poetry and the Everyday Virtual Gallery · New Haven
  This is an online-only gallery of student artwork on the Yale Schwarzman Center website (part of Storyboard 2026). CTvisit lists it as running Mar 30–Dec 18, 2026 and viewable anytime online. It has no physical venue in greater New Haven.

Couldn't confirm 55

• Airborne Jazz Quartet · East Haven
  Checked again on 2026-10-30. Jazz Haven's Airborne tag page lists only Dec 19, 2025 (Il Gabbiano) and Dec 20, 2025 (Bistro Mediterranean). Its upcoming Oct 30, 2026 shows don't include Airborne. A web search found no Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026 Airborne date. The Shoreline Live Music venue page showed no shows that weekend when it was checked earlier.
• BAR Halloween Costume Party · New Haven
  Re-checked on Oct 30, 2026. BAR's homepage and hours page don't mention Halloween, DJ JD or a cover charge. The hours page lists Friday as 12 p.m.–1:45 a.m. The Daily Nutmeg Oct 27–31, 2026 roundup was the only lead, and it returned HTTP 429 on three tries, so I couldn't re-read it. Searches found no other 2026 listing. The details below rest only on the earlier pass's reading of that roundup, which cites an Instagram post.
• Boos & Brews – East Rock Brewing Halloween Party · New Haven
  Fresh search again found only earlier editions: Sat Oct 25 2025 and Sat Oct 26 2024, both the Saturday before Halloween weekend. East Rock Brewing's events page rendered empty, there is no 2026 ctvisit or Visit New Haven listing, and Daily Nutmeg's 2026 Halloween guide for Oct 27–31 does not mention it. The pattern suggests the 2026 edition fell on Oct 24, outside the window, but this isn't confirmed.
• Carnaval del Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead Parade) · New Haven
  I searched again for a 2026 announcement and found none. ulanewhaven.org returned 503, and search found only 2025 and earlier coverage. The 2025 (15th annual) edition was on a Saturday, with the parade starting at 6 pm from Bregamos Theater at 491 Blatchley Ave. The 2023 edition was Sat Nov 4, with a festival at 4 pm and the parade at 6 pm. Sat Oct 31, 2026 fits the pattern, but no source confirms the 2026 date.
• Clover Nook Farm · Bethany
  I checked the farm site again. It mentions fall pumpkins, hayrides and seasonal events, with 9 am–6 pm store hours labeled 'open today', but gives no fall season dates and no petting zoo. A search found only undated listings, and the farm's Patch profile shows no active events. I couldn't confirm the farm is open, or that it holds any event, on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026.
• Club Vandome Annual Halloween Costume Party · New Haven
  Fresh attempt: there's no 2026 listing for Vandome's annual night-time (10 pm) Halloween costume party. The Daily Nutmeg 2026 guide returned 429, and the 2025 edition was Sat Nov 1, 10 pm. I did find a separate aggregator-only lead: AllEvents lists a 'Halloween Day Party' at Club Vandome, 102 Hamilton St, 3–7 PM, hosted by Huggy Bear with DJ TreyDon, $10 tickets on POSH, costumes preferred, and a $100 best-costume prize. That listing's date field says Fri Oct 30, 2026 but its description says Saturday, October 31st. I couldn't find the POSH ticket page or a venue confirmation. This day party doesn't match the annual 10 pm costume party, so the candidate stays unverified.
• Creeperum Haunted House · Hamden
  A fresh search again turned up only 2016–2018 sources (the 2017 Scare Factor review, 2016–2018 haunt rankings). I found no 2026 website, ticketing page or schedule, and creeperum.com was last cited in 2016. The haunt is likely defunct.
• D&A Duo Halloween Costume Party at Wallingford Senior Center · Wallingford
  The only source is an aggregator listing (Fri Oct 30, 2026, 1–2 PM) whose description is just "D&A back at it!". I could not find the senior center's own calendar or newsletter for the event, and nothing says whether it is open to the public or only to senior center members.
• Diva Royale Drag Queen Show · New Haven
  Checked again Oct 30, 2026. The Eventbrite listing describes a weekly series (Friday and Saturday dinner shows, Sunday brunch) but names no dates. Eventbrite's New Haven 'drag' and 'jazzys-cabaret' searches both show the next available show as Fri Nov 6, 7 p.m. Nothing is listed for today (Oct 30), Oct 31 or Nov 1, so this weekend's shows are probably sold out or not scheduled. divaroyale.com/new-haven returned 404. No organizer page confirms a show in the window.
• Drag Bingo New Haven – Ultimate Drag Queen Bingo & Drag Show · New Haven
  Checked again Oct 30, 2026. The Eventbrite listing (Drag Bingo USA) says only 'Multiple dates'. Other listings (New Haven Arts Council, Eventbrite) describe a Thursday 7 p.m. event, and an earlier pass saw Thu Nov 5 listed. Nothing shows a session on Fri Oct 30, Sat Oct 31 or Sun Nov 1, and the Thursday pattern falls outside the window.
• Drag Queen Sip and Paint New Haven · New Haven
  Checked again Oct 30, 2026. The Eventbrite event page says only 'Multiple dates'. Eventbrite's New Haven drag search shows the next available session as Sat Nov 7, 4 p.m. Nothing is listed for Sat Oct 31, so no session in the window is confirmed.
• EU Literature? Institution – Imagination – Inheritance · New Haven
  Yale lists a two-day graduate colloquium (Oct 30–31, 2026) at Humanities Quadrangle; Friday's session runs 12–7:30 p.m. The audience is listed as faculty, postdocs, students and graduate/professional, with no statement that the general public may attend. No times are published for Saturday. Can't confirm it's a public event.
• Elm City Games: Party Games Night & Board Games and New Friends · New Haven
  Removed in source audit: The venue homepage mentions the recurring Friday and Sunday events but gives no hours, price or 2026 dates. The aggregator root page does not support the specific times. A search found only past Meetup listings. The Oct 30 and Nov 1 sessions and their hours can't be confirmed.
• Ethan Griffeth at Madison Prime Steakhouse · Madison
  Re-checked on Oct 30, 2026. Searches for 'Ethan Griffeth' found no performer by that name, and nothing shows him at Madison Prime Steakhouse. Searches for the shorelinelivemusic venue page and a Madison Prime Oct 31 listing also came up empty. OpenTable reviews mention live guitar in the bar, but give no schedule. The Oct 31, 6–9 p.m. slot can't be confirmed anywhere.
• Foodies + New Friends: Meriden Duos Edition · Meriden
  I re-fetched the Eventbrite page and it still shows only 'Multiple dates' and a 7:00 PM agenda, with no specific dates or year. No dinner on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026 can be confirmed. The restaurant changes every week and isn't disclosed; the Westfield Road map pin is explicitly a placeholder.
• Foodies + New Friends: Milford 1-on-1 Edition · Milford
  I checked the Eventbrite page again. It still shows only 'Multiple dates' at 7 PM, with no specific dates readable and no price. The restaurant is shared only after registration, and each gathering happens only if enough people sign up. I can't confirm a session on Oct 30–Nov 1.
• Foodies + New Friends: West Haven | 1-on-1 Edition · West Haven
  I re-read the Eventbrite page. It still shows only 'Multiple dates' with a 7 p.m. daily agenda and no specific dates, year or price, so I can't confirm a session on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026. The address is a map placeholder: the restaurant changes weekly and is assigned after registration.
• Great Gatsby Halloween Party · New Haven
  Re-checked. The Trinity Bar's homepage and /events page list no Halloween or Gatsby event; /events says 'No upcoming events, check back later!' The Daily Nutmeg Halloween roundups returned HTTP 429 again. A web search found no 2026 listing for a Gatsby Halloween party at Trinity Bar. The only lead remains the bar's Instagram, which couldn't be read.
• Grounded at Wábi Gallery · New Haven
  Fresh attempt: the wabi.gallery home page and news page no longer mention 'Grounded' and list no exhibition dates or hours. A search for 'Grounded' at Wábi Gallery in 2026 found nothing. An October 2026 Open Studios listing reportedly names Wábi among venues with ongoing exhibits on weekdays, but I can't tie the 'Grounded' title or the claimed Oct 9 – Nov 20 run to it. The gallery is said to have weekday hours, so Fri Oct 30 is possible, but no hours or dates are confirmed.
• Halloween Blood Ball · New Haven
  Checked again. The event still appears only on aggregators (HappeningNext, AllEvents): Sat Oct 31, 2026, 8 p.m., presented by Free Yourself Productions in a Crown Street ballroom, posted by Danielle DiGirolamo. Targeted searches for the promoter and for Blood Ball tickets on Crown Street found no organizer, venue or ticketing page. No venue name, address, price or ticket link is published, so the listing could not be confirmed with the organizer.
• Halloween Magic at Pebbles · New Haven
  Daily Nutmeg's Oct 27–31, 2026 roundup lists 'Halloween Magic' at Pebbles Toys & Gifts, 5:30–6 p.m., free, with Cyril the Sorcerer performing. The page still returns 429 and its feed is also rate-limited. Search snippets conflict on the day: one puts the show under Fri Oct 30, while the longer article text appears to put it in the Oct 27 section, which is outside the window. No store page, Instagram post or Cyril the Sorcerer listing confirms the date.
• Halloween Night at Old Heidelberg · New Haven
  Search snippets from Daily Nutmeg's Oct 27–31, 2026 roundup describe a late-night Halloween party at Old Heidelberg starting at 10 p.m. One snippet puts it in the same listing as a Fri Oct 30 item, while the earlier lead said Sat Oct 31. The Daily Nutmeg page returned 429 again. A search found no venue, Graduate hotel or ticketing page for a 2026 party. Crawl With Us lists Old Heidelberg only as a stop on the separate Sat Oct 31 Halloween Bar Crawl.
• Halloween Reggae Brunch · New Haven
  Removed in source audit: The cited Facebook post only showed a truncated title with no date, time, lineup or cover, and a search found no listing. The 2026 date can't be confirmed.
• Halloween at The Congregation · New Haven
  Two more searches found no venue or business called 'The Congregation' in New Haven or greater Connecticut, and no Halloween 2026 listing under that name. The closest hits were New Haven, Vermont's Congregational Church and Center Church on the Green's crypt tours, neither of which matches. The only lead is an unreadable Instagram post, so venue, city and date can't be established.
• Ian Biggs · Milford
  Still unconfirmed after a second attempt. Two web searches found no 2026 listing for Ian Biggs at Stonebridge Restaurant. The guessed Stonebridge domain (stonebridgemilford.com) doesn't resolve, and Bandsintown's artist page returned 403. The only current venue listing found for him is at The Trinity Bar in New Haven ('Ian Biggs & The Ruckus Band', 17 May, Class of 2026 send-off), not at Stonebridge on Oct 30 to Nov 1. The Shoreline Live Music venue page showed no Oct 30 to Nov 1 events in the earlier pass.
• Illusions The Drag Brunch · East Haven
  Checked again. The organizer's site (illusionsthedragqueenshow.com) lists dinner-show cities but not New Haven or East Haven, and gives no Oct–Nov 2026 dates. The Eventbrite listing shows 'Multiple dates' with sales ended. The HappeningNext aggregator has the brunch schedule ending Sun Oct 11, 2026. The Vivid Seats venue page says no events are happening. No performance in Oct 30–Nov 1 could be confirmed.
• Illusions The Drag Queen Show · East Haven
  Checked again. The organizer's site lists no New Haven or East Haven location and no Oct–Nov 2026 dates. Eventbrite shows 'Multiple dates' with none listed, plus an ended Oct 5, 2024 listing. The HappeningNext aggregator has the schedule ending Sat Oct 24, 2026. The Vivid Seats venue page says there are no events. No show on Oct 30, 31 or Nov 1 could be confirmed.
• Ives Farm pumpkin patch & corn maze · Cheshire
  Checked again on 2026-10-30. Both directories (pumpkinpatchesandmore.org and cornmazesandmore.org) are undated, list no website for the farm and give 'Fall activities October 1st to 31st'. They state fall hours of Mon–Fri 9–5 and Sat–Sun 10–5. The Cheshire Land Trust, which owns Ives Farm, says the farm is open to the public only during its events. The only 2026 event found there is a YMCA/CLT 5K trail race with a Pumpkin Dash on Oct 24, which is outside the window. No organizer source confirms 2026 pumpkin or maze operation on Oct 30–31, and the directory's Oct 31 end date would rule out Nov 1 in any case.
• Kayaking Opening Day · New Haven
  I tried again but found no organizer, city or venue page for a 'Kayaking Opening Day' on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026. Kingfisher Adventures' 2026 posts (late May–June) describe weekend-only rentals at the Orange Street Canoe Launch 'all summer long', with Lake Wintergreen opening in late May. That makes an 'opening day' at the end of October very unlikely, and the infonewhaven listing is probably mis-dated or recycled from a spring listing.
• Macabre Masquerade at Counter Weight Brewing · Cheshire
  I checked again. Counter Weight's events calendar still lists nothing between Oct 29 and Nov 2, 2026; its first listed event is Mixtape Match on Nov 4. A web search turned up only the 2025 edition (Halloween night, Oct 31, 2025). I found no organizer, ticketing or media page announcing a 2026 edition.
• Messy Church · Milford
  Still only listed on AllEvents. That page says the organizer is Mary Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church and gives a range of Fri Sep 25 to Fri Oct 30, 2026, 5:00–5:30 pm, free, with dinner, led by Pastor Adeline. It doesn't state a recurrence pattern. Since both end dates are Fridays, a weekly Friday series ending Oct 30 is likely, but that is an inference. Three searches found no church website (the guessed marytaylorchurch.org doesn't resolve) and no other page confirming an Oct 30 session.
• Muscle Men Male Revue / Illusions The Drag Queen Show · East Haven
  Re-fetched both Eventbrite pages on Oct 30, 2026. Each still says only 'Multiple dates', with no showtimes or prices and no performance listed for Oct 30, Oct 31 or Nov 1, 2026. Both give the location as 460 Main Street, East Haven, but name no host venue. They're generic franchise listings with a toll-free number (833-687-2536).
• Nightjar Halloweed Ball · Hamden
  Search snippets from Daily Nutmeg's Oct 27–31, 2026 roundup list a 'Halloweed Ball' at Nightjar, Hamden, 6–9 p.m., free entry with an asterisk, where DJ MON the MAGE hosts music bingo with costume prizes and appetizers. The article returned 429, so the date is not visible. A search found no Nightjar website, address or ticketing page in Hamden. The Oct 29, 2026 Hamden Patch weekend guide does not mention it.
• Nutty New Haven Scavenger Hunt · New Haven
  I re-fetched the Eventbrite listing and it still shows only 'Multiple dates', with no date, time or price visible for Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026. A search for Alley Kat Adventures found Nutty New London and Nantucket versions on booking sites but no New Haven listing outside Eventbrite. This is a self-guided game you can book any time, not a scheduled public event, and availability in the window can't be confirmed.
• OPEN STUDIOS @ CITY, Part 2 (City Gallery) · New Haven
  The gallery's October/November exhibit post confirms Part 1 ran Oct 2–25, 2026, so it is closed this weekend. Part 2 is listed only as 'November 2026' with no start date. Nov 1 is the only date in the window it could cover, and I couldn't confirm the gallery is open that day. The exhibits page returned 404.
• Old Bishop Farms pumpkins & hayrides · Cheshire
  Checked again on 2026-10-30. The farm's website mentions only pick-your-own berries, apples and peaches and the 9/20/25 reopening under new management. It lists no hours and no pumpkins, hayrides or fall 2026 information. A new search turned up only older or undated sources: a 2023 News 12 piece, Patch guides, a directory and Roadtrippers hours (Sun and Tue–Sat 8am–7pm). Those conflict with the earlier directory hours of Wed–Sun 8am–8pm. Nothing confirms Halloween-weekend 2026 operation.
• Red Velvet Burlesque Show · New Haven
  The Eventbrite listing is still a recurring 'multiple dates' listing and shows no specific Oct 30, 31 or Nov 1 date. Eventbrite's Jazzy's Cabaret search page (fetched Oct 30, 2026) shows the next Red Velvet date as Fri Nov 6 at 6 pm, so it's likely there's no show this weekend. The organizer's New Haven page shows only an outdated NYC address and a 2022 booking calendar. The arts council calendar pages failed with SSL errors.
• Rose Orchards Farm Pumpkin Patch & Hayrides · North Branford
  I checked the farm's homepage, News, U-Pick and Visit Us pages again. The farm is open daily (Farm Market and Creamery 7 AM–6 PM), but none of these pages has 2026 pumpkin or hayride information. The U-Pick page lists pick-your-own as 9 AM–5 PM daily 'when in season', is undated, and doesn't offer pumpkins as pick-your-own. A web search found only undated or older guides, and one said the season ended Friday, Oct 31, which matches 2025. Pumpkin picking and hayrides on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026 can't be confirmed. The farm market itself is open daily, but that isn't an event.
• Spooky Hunt: New Haven Ivy & Ghosts Mystery · New Haven
  The only source is the organizer's Eventbrite listing (Social Adventures By Gabrielle). The fetched page says only 'Multiple dates'. It gives no session dates, times or prices, so I couldn't confirm sessions on Oct 30, Oct 31 or Nov 1, 2026. The organizer's Eventbrite profile returned HTTP 410. Two searches found no other page for this event. The organizer posts similar templated hunt listings for many US cities.
• Spooky Mixology Cocktails Workshop · Branford
  The AllEvents listing still shows Fri Oct 30, 2026, 7–9 p.m., $49.87, organizer The Grey Goat Farmtique, with no ticket link. Searches found only an older Spooky Mixology listing (Oct 10, apparently 2025) and other Grey Goat classes. No Eventbrite or organizer page for 2026 turned up, and the Shoreline Arts and New Haven Arts calendar pages failed to load (SSL errors). It could not be confirmed with the organizer.
• Stand Up Comedy Night at Mazorca · Hamden
  Eventbrite's Hamden listing for Mazorca now shows the next Any Buddies Comedy show on Friday, Nov 13 at 8 p.m. Earlier 2026 dates ran up to Oct 16, so the series looks like it runs every four weeks and skips Oct 30. I found no listing for Oct 30, 2026.
• TRLP Music Group Dress Up as Your Favorite Artist Karaoke Ball · Hamden
  The aggregator page is titled "(Copy)" and dated Sat Oct 31, 2026, 7–11 PM. Its description mentions an "October 1st edition" and says tickets from an original event will be honored on a new date, so the description is probably copied from an earlier listing. I found no organizer or ticketing page confirming an Oct 31 date at Skiro Studios. A Somo listing for TRLP's Karaoke Ball shows a different, older series ($30, Hamden).
• Table 25: New Haven | Foodies + New Friends · New Haven
  Checked again on 2026-10-30. The HappeningNext listing shows only a series range (Mar 15–Dec 27, 2026, 7pm). It calls the series both monthly and weekly, names no individual dates, and gives a placeholder 'Restaurant of the Week' location. A search found no Eventbrite or organizer page for the New Haven series; Ermantourage's similar dinners in other cities are on Eventbrite. Nov 1 cannot be confirmed as a dinner date.
• Table 4 Tonight: New Haven | Best Friends Edition · New Haven
  Re-checked the Eventbrite page. It still shows only 'Multiple dates' with no specific dates, times or price, and says the map pin is a placeholder. A search found Ermantourage 'Table 4 Tonight' listings for other cities, including West Hartford, but no dated New Haven session. No session on Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026 could be confirmed.
• Temple's Haunted Halloween Bash · New Haven
  Re-checked on Oct 30, 2026. Searches for 144 Temple Halloween 2026 and for a 144Temple Halloween page on Eventbrite found only the 2025 New Haven Arts listing (Oct 31, 2025). The venue does sell tickets on Eventbrite (for example, its New Year's Eve bash), but no 2026 Halloween page turned up. The only 2026 New Haven Halloween crawl found starts at 172 Temple St, not 144 Temple.
• The Artistic Congress (Long Wharf Theatre) · New Haven
  Checked again on Oct 30, 2026. Long Wharf's 2026/27 season page still lists the Artistic Congress only as a 'Sep 8 2026 – Jul 1 2027, 5:00pm' umbrella run, with no individual session dates. The season page names only one Long Wharf event on Oct 30–Nov 1: previews of The Price, a separate production. Searches turned up only the Oct 25–27, 2024 edition, and the /events/artistic-congress page returns 404. No session is confirmed for the weekend.
• The Drag Queen Party Bus New Haven · New Haven
  Checked again Oct 30, 2026. The Eventbrite event page says only 'Multiple dates'. Eventbrite's New Haven drag search shows the next available ride as Fri Nov 6, 8 p.m. Nothing is listed for today, Oct 31 or Nov 1, so no ride in the window is confirmed.
• The Fright Crawl | New Haven Halloween Bar Crawl 2026 · New Haven
  The organizer's site (frightcrawl.com) lists 69 cities for Oct 29–31, 2026, and New Haven is not one of them; the nearest are Boston, Brooklyn and Hoboken. The Oct 30, 7:30 pm New Haven listing appears only in search-engine snippets of Eventbrite and AllEvents pages. The Eventbrite New Haven bar-crawl directory and AllEvents' New Haven bar-crawl page both show no Fright Crawl. The New Haven crawls that do exist are separate events on Oct 31 starting at PRIME BGR. This listing is most likely spurious.
• The Mediums at Bistro Mediterranean · East Haven
  Checked again. The Shoreline Live Music page for Bistro Mediterranean lists no upcoming shows. Searches for 'The Mediums' with the venue, and for the band in Connecticut, found no band, venue or ticketing page. The restaurant's site lists no events. No Oct 30 performance could be confirmed.
• The Only Scream in Town (Scream Haunted Attraction) · North Haven
  I searched again for 2026 listings, including the WFSB 2026 Connecticut fall frights guide, and found no mention of The Only Scream in Town or any haunt at The Only Game in Town. The only sources are Patch and NBC articles from about 2014–2015, one of which describes a campaign to save the haunt after the owner died. There is no organizer page or ticketing listing, so it is probably defunct.
• Trinity Bar Rodeo Halloween Party · New Haven
  Fresh attempt: the venue site thetrinitybar.com says 'No upcoming events, check back later!' A web search found no 2026 rodeo-themed or Oct 30/31 Halloween party at The Trinity Bar. AllEvents' New Haven Halloween listings show only a Bad Habit party band night at Trinity on Sat Nov 7, 2026, outside the window and with no rodeo theme. An earlier pass found a Sept 2026 Instagram flyer pointing to a 'Halloweekend' around Oct 24. The Daily Nutmeg 2026 guide returned 429 again. Neither the rodeo party nor a date in the window is confirmed.
• Unidad Latina en Acción Día de los Muertos Parade & Celebration · New Haven
  Fresh attempt: ulanewhaven.org returned 503. Searches in English and Spanish and the Arts Paper's Día de los Muertos tag index (latest article Nov 5, 2025) show no 2026 announcement. The latest confirmed edition is the 15th annual in 2025: Sat Nov 1, 2025, festival 4 p.m. and parade 6 p.m. at Bregamos Community Theater. So a 2026 edition would be the 16th, not the 17th. The parade is usually on the Saturday closest to Nov 1, so Sat Oct 31, 2026 is plausible, but no organizer or media source confirms a 2026 date.
• WAX: Steve Brock at The Cannon · New Haven
  Searched again for a 2026 WAX date, Steve Brock, and The Cannon. No venue, organizer or ticketing page lists an Oct 31, 2026 edition. A March 2025 New Haven Independent review says WAX is held on the last Saturday of the month, and Oct 31, 2026 is the last Saturday of October, so the date fits the pattern. The only direct lead is an Instagram post that could not be read, and Daily Nutmeg's listings again returned HTTP 429.
• Wallingford Garden Market · Wallingford
  I searched again and still found no organizer or town page confirming the 2026 fall schedule or venue. The Town of Wallingford's October 2026 calendar has no market listings. CTvisit says 'Saturdays 10am–1pm, May 9 through November' but gives no address or end date. The Grindkit aggregator only shows weekly dates into early September 2026. The 2025 season ran to Nov 15 at Doolittle Park (78 S. Elm St), according to Patch and AARP, but nothing confirms the 2026 location or an Oct 31 session.
• YQI North turns 1 · New Haven
  The lead cites the Yale events calendar, but searching events.yale.edu for 'YQI' and 'YQI North' returned no such event, and the Yale Quantum Institute calendar redirects to a Yale login. No page confirms the date, time, or whether the public can attend. It looks like an internal celebration for Yale staff and affiliates.
