What's happening in Ogden this weekend

Looking for something fun to do in Ogden this weekend? You have come to the right place! It's the weekend before Halloween, and Ogden is making the most of it: dinosaurs after dark, a costume bike ride, Halloween music under candlelight, and not one but two Día de los Muertos celebrations downtown.

We gather Ogden's weekend from the calendars of the theaters, parks, arenas and festival organizers around town, and we look them over every day so a show that sells out or gets called off doesn't slip through. Tap any pick for its full listing, with a map, the weather forecast for that night, and restaurants and hotels nearby.

The guide goes night by night, Friday through Sunday, then the free events and the show that's wrapping up its run. Here's a few of the top options to consider, so pick your plan and get planning with your family and friends in our App too!

Friday night

Friday night in Ogden has something for every kind of group: a spooky outing for the kids, a classic movie for the family, live music by candlelight, and comedy for the grown-ups. Most of it sits right around 25th Street and Washington Boulevard, so dinner downtown before the show is easy.

October nights get cold fast up against the mountains, so bring a warm layer for anything outdoors, and buy tickets ahead for the indoor shows on a busy Halloween weekend.

Dinos in the Dark

Fri & Sat, Oct 23–24, 6–9 PM · Ogden Dinosaur Park, Ogden

Wear your favorite costume to the Ogden Dinosaur Park for an evening of tricks and treats. There are treats and crafts for the little explorers, and jump scares and haunted trails for the ones who dare, so the whole family can pick their own level of spooky. It's on both Friday and Saturday night this weekend.

Candlelight Concerts

Fri, Oct 23, 6:15 PM · The Monarch, Ogden

The Monarch glows under candlelight for two live string quartet performances by Range Ensemble, featuring Halloween classics alongside music from Coldplay and Imagine Dragons. It's a wonderful pick for a date night or a night out with friends that's festive without being scary.

Labyrinth

Fri, Oct 23, 7–9 PM · Peery's Egyptian Theater, Ogden · $10

Peery's Egyptian Theater is showing Labyrinth, the PG fantasy where sixteen-year-old Sarah has thirteen hours to rescue her baby brother from the Goblin King. Note that it's a film, not a play. Lobby doors open an hour before showtime, and the closest parking is the garage behind the theater.

Chris Munch

Through Sat, Oct 24 · Historic Ogden, Ogden · $25

Comedian Chris Munch, the creator of characters like "Stephen Stephens", "MLM Chad" and "Pastor Bobby", brings his 'Bleshings' Tour to Historic Ogden on 25th Street. He's joined by comedian Adam Bush, a preacher turned comedian with a Dry Bar comedy special. A fun night out for a group of friends, on Friday and Saturday.

Saturday

Saturday is Ogden's big day this weekend, from a family bike ride in costume in the morning to Día de los Muertos at Union Station in the afternoon and hockey or a cult classic at night.

Plan your day around the Día de los Muertos festival, since it runs from early afternoon into the evening, and leave room for dinner on 25th Street. For the late shows, plan your ride home if you plan to drink.

Spoketacular Community Bike Ride

Sat, Oct 24, 11 AM–1 PM · Ogden Dinosaur Park, Ogden

Put on your costume, decorate your bike and grab the family for Spoketacular, a free community bike ride on the parkway from the Dinosaur Park up to Big Dee and back. It runs from 11am to 1pm, with drinks from Daily Rise. A great way to start a Saturday outdoors.

Sunday

Sunday is quieter in Ogden, but the best pick of the day is a big one: a Día de los Muertos celebration at the Ogden Amphitheater with music, dance and ofrendas that goes from midday into the evening. It's a great way to close out the weekend with the family.

If you came Saturday to Union Station, this one has a different organizer and a different program, so it's worth doing both. The free Ogden Home Show (below) is open Sunday too.

Día de los Muertos - Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music

Sun, Oct 25, Noon · Ogden Amphitheater, Ogden

Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music puts on a Día de los Muertos celebration at the Ogden Amphitheater, with musical and dance performances and ofrendas. Las Cafeteras headline at 5:45 p.m., so stay for the evening. Bring a warm layer for after the sun goes down.

Free this weekend

Ogden has a couple of good free picks this weekend, both great for browsing with family or friends. They're also an easy way to fill a few hours between the bigger plans.

The Home Show runs Friday through Sunday, so check the listing for the hours before you head over.

Ogden Home Show

Through Sun, Oct 25 · Golden Spike Event Center, Ogden · Free

The free Ogden Home Show takes over the Golden Spike Event Center. Meet Northern Utah home improvement pros, compare quotes and get show-only deals on kitchens, baths, roofing, windows and more. A great stop if a remodel is on your list.

Last chance
