The Bay Area Discovery Museum's annual Goblin Jamboree fundraiser, the longest running Halloween festival in Marin, returns for 2026! This year's Goblin Jamboree has a new look and takes place every weekend in October — advance tickets are on sale now! This Halloween adventure is just-spooky-enough and you'll be amazed as the entire museum transforms into a world of playful surprises and hands-on fun.

Experience playful Halloween and fall adventures: rake leaves and gather produce in the Harvest Hall, befriend a bug with the Beetlelady, build a beast, dig for creepy crawlers, and stir up some magic in the Goblin Village. Costumes are encouraged, of course.

Proceeds from Goblin Jamboree support the Bay Area Discovery Museum’s mission to transform research into early learning experiences that inspire creative problem solving. 

Ticket Prices: (Tickets are required for anyone six months or older)

• Members: $5
• General Public: $25 
• SNAP/WIC: $10 (up to 4 tickets)

These special early-bird prices end August 31, 2026!

Purchase your tickets here or become a member. Goblin Jamboree weekends are October 3 and 4, 10 and 11, 17 and 18, 24 and 25, and October 31 (Halloween). Members are admitted free on October 3 and 4. You can also attend a Sunset Spooktacular Family Fundraiser on Friday, October 16, from 4–7 pm. This special after-hours Goblin Jamboree experience features festive food and drinks, one-night-only Halloween experiences, entertainment, and family fund. It all supports the museum's access initiatives.
