Know of an event that need to be added to the listing? Let me know and I'll add it. Provide the event's website, or have someone from the event contact me via e-mail at charlotte.guide@about.com, Facebook or Twitter.
Listed here are "haunted" attractions (houses, trails, hayrides, corn mazes, etc.), regular corn mazes, and other similar events. This list will constantly be updated, so check back often to see new events.
For more "family friendly" events, fall festivals, pumpkin painting and the like, visit our listing of 2011 Fall Festivals and Halloween Events and our list of pumpkin patches in and around Charlotte. Because of the nature of some events (i.e., a corn maze and kid's games), some events may appear on both lists. Outside of "fall" and "Halloween" events, the concert and sports scene is packed as well. Check out everything else happening around town on our October 2011 calendar of events.
