2015 Halloween in Las Vegas & Henderson- Family Friendly
In addition to the roadside pumpkin patches that have sprung up in grocery store parking lots around town, here are a few local favorites to visit when looking for family friendly Halloween in Las Vegas and Henderson. Gilcrease Orchard, McKee Ranch, Springs Preserve, Opportunity Village and Spring Mountain Ranch State Park all have safe family fun this month. We have also included details as to why there won't be a Halloween Parade downtown this year, and although not in the Las Vegas Area, we also included day trips for Halloween fun.

Las Vegas Halloween Parade- Cancelled 2015
There wont' be a Halloween Parade in Las Vegas this year, due to budget restraints and the fact that it is on a Saturday. With over 70,000 people coming out to view the spooky site last year, the anticipated growth of projected attendance this year could not be supported by current financing. Flyingpan Productions LLC has produced the parade since 2000 and hope to be back next year. "The 6th annual Las Vegas Halloween Parade has been canceled, according to its founder Cory Mervis."
