***UPDATE - Despite our highest hopes and best intentions, sometimes things don’t go as planned. This is one of those times.

Due to inclement weather conditions and a forecast calling for more rain throughout the day, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel today’s Halloween Boo Bash.

We’re sorry to disappoint everyone who was looking forward to this popular event, but Mother Nature simply isn’t cooperating.

On a positive note, the “Goodies for Goblins” Trick-or-Treating event at participating downtown businesses will proceed as scheduled. To view the list of participating businesses, visit: bit.ly/WFBooBash by @wakeforestparks

🎃 2026 Halloween Boo Bash Weather Update! 🎃

We’re monitoring the weather ahead of Saturday’s Halloween Boo Bash in Downtown Wake Forest and (fingers crossed) planning to proceed from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. as scheduled.

Although our staff and many of the activities can operate in mist and light rain, we may be forced to delay or even cancel the event if we experience heavy rain, strong winds, or lightning. As always, safety is our number one priority.

As of right now, here’s our game plan:

• In light rain, our midway games, food vendors, sponsors, DJ, roaming performers, spooky science show, country craft tent, face painter, and costume parade will proceed as scheduled.

• If we’re experiencing more than a mist or sprinkle, our inflatable slides and crawl-through inflatable will not operate until the rain stops.

• Just outside of the Halloween Boo Bash footprint, the “Goodies for Goblins” Trick-or-Treating event at participating downtown businesses will proceed as scheduled. View a list of participating merchants on our event webpage below.

• Stay Tuned! Be sure to follow our social media pages for additional updates tomorrow morning as we continue to monitor conditions and determine the best way to move forward.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow in (hopefully) dry and crisp fall weather!
