Looking for a Halloween celebration that’s equal parts fun and wholesome? Natural Grocers is rolling out the orange carpet for families this October with their “Spooktacular” event—a free, family-friendly Halloween bash that proves treats don’t have to come with tricks (or questionable ingredients).

Mark Your Calendars: October 25

On Saturday, October 25, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., participating Natural Grocers locations will transform into Halloween headquarters for kids and families. The nation’s largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer is pulling out all the stops with activities designed to delight little ghouls and goblins—without the sugar crash.

What’s Brewing at the Spooktacular Event?

The good4u® Crew has conjured up an impressive lineup of activities that’ll make this Saturday morning one to remember:

Limited-Edition Halloween Bags (and a Chance to Win Big)

Early birds get the worm—or in this case, a reusable Halloween bag. The first 200 customers at each location will snag a limited-edition tote, and here’s where it gets interesting: 20 lucky bags contain gift cards worth up to $50. It’s like trick-or-treating, but with better odds and no costume required.

Kids’ Treasure Hunt

Forget wandering the neighborhood in the dark. Kids can embark on an in-store treasure hunt, solving clues hidden throughout the aisles to discover healthy, spooky goodies. It’s part scavenger hunt, part nutrition education, and all fun.

Halloween Craft Station

Each participating store will host a craft table stocked with materials for kids to create festive Halloween-themed projects. Whether it’s decorating pumpkins or crafting paper bats, there’s something to spark every young artist’s imagination.

A Monster Mash-Up of Savings

The fun doesn’t stop at the event. Through October 25, Natural Grocers is offering “spooky-good” discounts across every department—perfect timing for stocking up on Halloween treats and fall favorites.

Snacks and Treats

Score deals on crowd-pleasers like Annie’s™ Organic Fruit Snacks, Quinn® Snacks Pretzels, Health-Ade Kombucha®, and Natural Grocers® Brand Beef Sticks. These are the treats parents can feel good about handing out—or keeping for themselves.

Bulk Savings

Natural Grocers Brand Bulk items are getting the discount treatment, including Organic Roasted Salted Sunflower Seeds and Organic Dark Chocolate Coconut. Stock up now and thank yourself later when holiday baking season hits.

Supplement Sale

Natural Grocers Brand Supplements are 25% off—a deal that’ll make even the most health-conscious vampires do a double-take. It’s the perfect opportunity to replenish your wellness arsenal before the holiday season kicks into high gear.

Recipes That’ll Make You Scream (With Delight)

Need inspiration for your Halloween spread? Natural Grocers has released a collection of festive recipes that balance fun with nutrition:

• Caramel Apples – A classic fall treat, elevated
• Cocoa Pear Chips – Crunchy, chocolatey, and surprisingly wholesome
• Vampire’s Pleasure Refresher – A blood-red beverage that’s actually good for you
• Bloody Zombie Mocktail – All the drama, none of the alcohol
• Thai-Inspired Pumpkin Curry – Because pumpkin deserves to be more than just pie
• Gluten-Free Spiderweb Brownies – Decadent dessert that accommodates dietary needs

These recipes prove that Halloween food can be both Instagram-worthy and nourishing—a rare combination in the world of seasonal celebrations.

Looking Ahead: Turkey Pre-Orders

Once the jack-o’-lanterns are composted and the costumes are packed away, Natural Grocers is already thinking about your Thanksgiving table. The retailer exclusively partners with Mary’s Free-Range Turkey® to offer humanely raised, high-quality poultry for the holiday season.

Customers can choose from eight turkey options and pre-order online or in-store. Here’s the kicker: {N}power Members who reserve their turkey by November 2 will receive a $5 reward, valid November 20-26. It’s the grocery equivalent of planning ahead and actually being rewarded for it.

The Natural Grocers Difference

Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers has built its reputation on uncompromising quality standards. Every grocery product must meet strict guidelines—no artificial flavors, preservatives, synthetic colors, or hydrogenated oils allowed. The company sells only USDA-certified organic produce, pasture-raised dairy products, and free-range eggs.

But what sets Natural Grocers apart isn’t just what they sell—it’s how they operate. The company is committed to its Five Founding Principles, including a “Commitment to Community” and “Commitment to Crew.” In fiscal year 2024 alone, they invested more than $15 million in incremental compensation and discretionary payments for employees.

With 168 stores across 21 states and headquarters in Lakewood, Colorado, Natural Grocers continues to prove that a smaller-store format can deliver big on affordability, quality, and community connection.
