Thanks to Sponsors LG&E and KU, Liberty Federal Credit Union and Winland Foods, Boo Dell returns for an afternoon of festive fall fun at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, where costumes, candy, music and the beauty of the gardens come together for a family-friendly Halloween celebration.

Stroll the Trail of Treats to visit community partners throughout the gardens, discover playful activities hosted by Yew Dell’s Horticulture and Education Teams and spend time with special guests along the way.

New for 2026: Touch-A-Tractor, and The Louisville Leopard Percussionists will perform at 12:30p and 2p!

Designed for kids and kids-at-heart, Boo Dell offers a cheerful, non-scary atmosphere perfect for celebrating the season together.         

However, the real magic is bringing our friends and neighbors together to support our gardens. Most importantly, proceeds from this event directly benefit the preservation of our beautiful grounds along with workshops, educational programs and activities we offer to the community. 

Round out your afternoon with lunch, snacks, sweet treats and seasonal beverages from Martha Lee’s Café while you explore the gardens in their autumn color.

Boo Dell is included with regular garden admission and tickets may be purchased upon arrival.
