Local Info · Clarksville & Montgomery County
Spooky season in Clarksville is officially in full swing. The porches are covered in pumpkins, someone on your street has a twelve-foot skeleton that may or may not be watching you, and every weekend between now and Halloween is packed. To make it easier, I built a map of Halloween events in Clarksville and the surrounding area: pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, and trunk-or-treats, all in one place.
Scroll the map below, tap any pin for dates, times, and details, then keep reading for my favorites and a few tips for homeowners getting ready for trick-or-treaters.

Which pumpkin patches and corn mazes are near Clarksville?
You don’t have to go far for a good pumpkin. These farms are on the map, from right here in Montgomery County to worth-the-drive destinations.
- Boyd’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze (Clarksville): a local favorite with u-pick pumpkin fields, gourds, and a 4-acre corn maze. Entry to the farm is free, and pumpkins are priced by size. Cash, check, and mobile payment are accepted.
- Patterson Place Farm (Woodlawn): a relaxed, small-town farm with a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and food trucks. It’s open on Saturdays in October, so plan ahead.
- Honeysuckle Hill Farm (Springfield): the big day trip. Think a massive corn maze, a pumpkin patch, farm animals, zip lines, hill slides, jump pads, evening campfire rentals, and apple cider donuts. Pace yourself on the donuts. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
- Shuckle’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch: a longer drive, with a 10-acre maze, magic shows, and a jumping pillow.
- Keller’s Country Events: another country fall stop on the map, southwest of Clarksville. Check their page for this year’s schedule.
Farms set their own hours, and many close for weather or once the pumpkins run out. Check each farm’s page or social media the morning you go.
Where are the best haunted houses and spooky spots?
If your idea of fall fun involves screaming, this section is for you. If not, scroll quickly and pretend you didn’t see it.
- R & P Haunted Farm: an outdoor haunt for anyone who wants a real scare. Tickets and nights are posted by the haunt, so buy ahead on busy weekends.
- Bell Witch Cave (Adams): home of Tennessee’s most famous legend. Guided tours cover the natural cave and a reconstructed cabin, and October weekends bring special daytime and nighttime tours. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Clarksville.
- Greenwood Cemetery tour (Clarksville): a history-meets-spooky walking tour starting at 10 a.m. on Halloween morning, about an hour long. Tickets are $20, or $15 for Customs House Museum members.
- Spooky Clues Brunch at Joker’s Comedy House (Clarksville): a murder mystery brunch on Sunday, October 18, from noon to 3 p.m. Work with your table to gather evidence, decode top-secret files, and catch a killer, all over a brunch spread with custom treats and drinks. Admission is $10, and costumes are highly encouraged.
Is there a Halloween party for adults in Clarksville?
Yes, and it’s one I’m especially excited about. On Friday, October 23, the Spreading Our Support (SOS) Foundation, the charitable arm of the Clarksville Association of REALTORS®, hosts a Halloween party at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center. Cocktail hour starts at 6 p.m., and the main event runs from 7 to 10 p.m.
General admission is $50 and includes heavy hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. Expect a DJ, a silent auction, a lip sync battle, games, a dessert dash, a fortune teller, and costume contests for best individual, best group, and best themed table. Guests must be 18 or older, and proceeds support local community resources and housing stability.
What should I know about Fright on Franklin?
Fright on Franklin is downtown Clarksville’s big Halloween street party, and this year it’s Saturday, October 24, from 3 to 6 p.m. around Franklin Street and the Public Square. Local businesses and community organizations line the street handing out candy, and there’s a costume contest open to all ages, an activity zone, photo spots, and food trucks.
Costume contest spots usually require pre-registration through Clarksville Parks and Recreation, so check their page if you’re competing. Street closures along Franklin Street, the Public Square, and Strawberry Alley typically start around 9 a.m., so park a few blocks out and enjoy the walk. Then stay for dinner downtown and call it a night well spent.
Can I bring my pets to a trunk-or-treat?
You sure can, at the right one. The Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County’s 4th Annual Multi-Rescue Trunk-or-Treat on Sunday, October 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. welcomes pets and people. It features decorated trunks from 11 local rescue groups, pet- and human-friendly treats, a costume showcase, the Re-Tail Store, and a donation drive. If your dog has been waiting all year to wear that hot dog costume, this is the moment.
How can homeowners get ready for trick-or-treaters?
The best Halloween prep for homeowners is simple: make it easy and safe for visitors to get to your door. A few quick checks this week go a long way.
- Light the way. Replace burned-out porch and walkway bulbs. A bright porch light is also the universal sign that you’re handing out candy.
- Clear the path. Move hoses, planters, and extension cords off the walkway, and rake wet leaves that get slippery after rain.
- Check your steps and railings. Loose boards and wobbly railings are easy to fix now and a real hazard in the dark.
- Keep candles out of costumes’ way. Battery-powered lights in jack-o’-lanterns are safer around flowing capes and fabric.
- Plan for pets. Constant doorbells stress a lot of pets out. A quiet room and a closed door keep them calm and keep them from slipping out.
- Secure outdoor decorations. Stake down inflatables and anything that could blow into the street on a windy night.
Not participating this year? Turning off your porch light is the polite, well-understood signal that your house is skipping trick-or-treat.
What do Halloween events say about living in Clarksville?
They say a lot. Halloween in Clarksville is a full-community effort, from downtown businesses at Fright on Franklin to local companies, nonprofits, and rescues setting up trunk-or-treats. Plenty of neighborhoods go all out with decorations, and that shared energy is something I hear about from buyers again and again.
If you’re new to the area on PCS orders or just exploring a move, October is a great time to drive through neighborhoods you’re considering. You’ll get a feel for the streets, the lighting, and the overall vibe on a busy evening. And if you’re buying or selling this fall, I’m always happy to share what I’m seeing in the Clarksville market, along with my favorite local spots.
