Little Monsters Mash 2026

Little Monsters Mash is a daytime Halloween party at Huntsville Botanical Garden, made for young children and the grown-ups who come with them. On Saturday, October 10, from 10 AM to 1 PM, kids can follow a trick-or-treat trail that includes the Scarecrow Trail, decorate a no-carve pumpkin to take home, get a face painted or a balloon twisted, and try the inflatables and lawn games while a live DJ plays family favorites.

Costume contests run at 11:00 AM (most creative homemade), 12:00 PM (best family group) and 12:45 PM (best character), and the Garden encourages costumes for kids and adults. Food and drinks are available to buy, and the event is outdoors, so dress for the weather. Children 2 and under are free, and advance tickets are $12 for members and $22 for non-members ($15 and $25 on the day). It is part of the Garden's FestiFall season, and tickets are on the Garden's event page.
