As part of its annual tradition, the Shubert Theatre holds an annual Free Family Day in October. Patrons are treated to a walking backstage tour of the theatre with trick or treat stations along the way. Children under 12 are invited to wear Halloween costumes for trick or treating in the Shubert lobby—in consideration of all our patrons, participants were asked not bring prop weapons.
This year's Free Family Fun Day will be Sunday, October 26, 2025.
