The Great Big BOO, the popular Halloween event at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park, is returning on select dates from September 26 through November 2. Guests are invited into the wacky world of BOO Alley to help friends like Vinnie the Vampire and Wolfgang Werewolf save Halloween from the curse of Wendella the Witch.

The immersive fall event includes The Great Big BOO live musical show (featuring the infectious “Do the BOO!” theme song) as well as pop-up performances and character interactions throughout the park. Families are encouraged to come in costume to enjoy fun, safe trick-or-treating along the BOO Trail.

Other themed attractions include Wendella’s Wild Ride, Wolfgang’s Rockin’ Road Trip, and the BOO Train. The park’s 26 acres of gardens and over 10,000 trees provide an incredible backdrop for Halloween-inspired light displays, including a dazzling music-and-light spectacle inside the BOO Alley Light Tunnel.

From bubbling potions to frightfully fun bites, The Great Big BOO also offers delicious delights for all ages—including Loaded Jumbo Potatoes, Apple Pumpkin Spice Funnel Cake, Return of the Mummy Hot Dogs, “spooky” cocktails for adults like BOO Butter Brew and Hocus Pocus Punch, and kid-friendly drinks with a magical twist.
