Disney Dreamlight Valley is adding door-to-door trick-or-treating this October. Your clue that a house is handing out candy? A jack-o’-lantern outside. Apparently even the Valley has a porch-light equivalent, and that is ridiculously cute.
The Trick or Treat event runs October 14–31, 2026, with new Halloween Town exterior decorations among this year’s rewards. A week before that, the Haunted Floating Festival returns with puzzles and more seasonal decorations.
Here’s what to put on your October calendar, because these are two different events.
October 14: Look for the houses with pumpkins outside
Gameloft’s Season of Scares patch notes confirm two ways to collect Trick-or-Treater’s Bounty: find it around the Plaza, or go door to door at houses with a jack-o’-lantern outside.
That second option is new for this year. When the event begins, the pumpkin-marked homes are the ones to look for on your candy rounds.
The new rewards include exterior decorations inspired by Halloween Town from The Nightmare Before Christmas. So if your decorating plan is “make the whole place look like Jack Skellington might live here,” this is the event to watch.
October 7: The Haunted Floating Festival returns
The official update announcement puts the Haunted Floating Festival at October 7–31. You’ll explore its decorated grounds and solve new and returning puzzles to earn exclusive seasonal decorations.
That gives you a week with the festival before door-to-door candy collecting begins. Both events finish on Halloween.
- Want the puzzle event? Check in for the Haunted Floating Festival from October 7.
- Want to collect candy and work toward Halloween Town decorations? Start Trick or Treat on October 14.
- Want both? Their dates overlap from October 14 through October 31.
Keep Oogie Boogie’s deadline separate
Oogie Boogie’s six-week questline has its own schedule. Gameloft says you need to begin his first quest before November 4 to keep completing the chain at your own pace. That later deadline belongs to his quests; the festival and Trick or Treat end October 31.
If you’re working on that storyline, our Oogie Boogie and Zero unlock guide explains the weekly timing, and our Oogie Boogie Contract walkthrough covers Week 2.
