Big Boo!seum Bash Returns to Little Rock October 29

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Sept. 29, 2026) — For more than 20 years, Little Rock families have made Big Boo!seum Bash part of their Halloween tradition. The annual event returns from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, October 29, bringing free trick-or-treating, games, and activities to museums and cultural attractions across the city.

Sponsored by the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau (LRCVB) and hosted by the Greater Little Rock Museum and Cultural Attractions Consortium, Big Boo!seum Bash offers a safe and accessible way to celebrate Halloween while exploring some of the city’s local landmarks and institutions. Admission is free at each participating location, and costumes are encouraged.

Visitors can pick up a free Big Boo!seum game card at any participating site and collect stamps throughout the evening. Completed cards can be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2.

"Big Boo!seum Bash shows what’s possible when so many Little Rock organizations come together for one night," said LRCVB President & CEO Gina Gemberling. "Each location brings something different to the experience, giving families a chance to explore more of the city and discover places they may want to visit again,” she added.
