If your kids would love to spend an afternoon trick-or-treating with more than 25 live fairytale characters, superheroes, and villains, there’s a big Halloween event coming up just down the road from New Braunfels.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Fest returns on Sunday, October 11 from 2–8 PM at The Fields Wedding & Events Venue in Cibolo, bringing together character experiences, live entertainment, animals, Halloween activities, food trucks, and plenty of candy for one big family event.
We at The New Braunfels Life have teamed up with Once Upon A Party to present this year’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Fest.
One of the biggest parts of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Fest is the chance for kids to actually interact with the characters throughout the event.
More than 25 live fairytale characters, superheroes, and villains from Once Upon A Party will be on the grounds for trick-or-treating, meet-and-greets, photos, and other interactions.
Once Upon A Party has been creating character entertainment and family experiences in Central Texas for years now, and Boo Fest brings many of those experiences together on a much larger scale this fall.
Rather than simply watching from the crowd, kids get a chance to step into the experience themselves.
There will be plenty happening throughout the six-hour event.
General Admission includes:
- Trick-or-treating with plenty of candy
- Live character meet-and-greets
- A Villain Spooktacular
- Live animal encounters
- A scavenger hunt
- Halloween activities throughout the venue
- Food trucks and vendors
Guests will also be able to catch live music and performances throughout the event.
One of the highlights will be A Villain Spooktacular, when the villains take the stage for a live performance designed to be fun for the whole family rather than frightening for younger kids.
The fairytale characters and superheroes won’t be the only special guests.
Once In A Wild will be at the festival with live animal encounters, giving kids an opportunity to get an up-close look at some very different characters during their visit.
It adds another experience to a day already packed with things to see and do.
Families who want to add another Halloween activity can purchase a pumpkin decorating experience in addition to General Admission.
Pumpkin decorating is available as an optional add-on during checkout while supplies last.
Preferred parking can also be added to ticket purchases, and additional merchandise and keepsakes may be available at the event.
Families looking to make an even bigger day of it can choose the limited VIP Experience.
VIP admission includes everything that comes with General Admission, along with:
- A private pumpkin decorating activity
- A limited-edition Villains Autograph Book
- Reserved premium seating for the stage performance
- Access to the VIP Rooftop Lounge
- Light bites and one specialty drink or mocktail
- An exclusive VIP group photo with select villains
VIP tickets are limited.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Fest is designed as an all-ages event, with the experience centered around whimsical Halloween fun rather than scares.
That makes it especially appealing for families with younger children who want costumes, candy, characters, and Halloween excitement without turning the afternoon into a scary haunted attraction.
Guests ages 2 and older need a ticket for admission.
