Arizona Costume Stores

Find a costume for Halloween or other masquerade occasions

Do you have an adorable toddler you plan to dress up in a costume this Halloween? Or, are trying to dress YOURSELF scary enough to send OTHER people's toddlers screaming in fear when they ring your doorbell trick-or-treating?

No matter what disguise you're planning for yourself or for your family this Halloween, you'll need a costume store to help you fulfill your plans.

There's good news for you---Arizona has plenty of costume shops! Of course, it greatly helps if you live in (or are visiting) greater Phoenix or Tucson. Those who live in Arizona's smaller cities will have a limited choice. Never forget, though, that both the Walmart and Target store chains carry Halloween costumes, as well as many groceries and drug store chains.

On this page, though, we'll concentrate on Arizona costume specialty stores which make costumes a major focal point of their businesses. Some...like Party City...are general party supply stores. Year-round, you can find items such as invitations, decorations, and themed tableware (paper plates, cups, napkins, etc) that will give any party or special occasion an extra pizazz. During September and October, however, these stores add special costume sections...and the selection you find there will be completely sufficient to outfit your whole family in Halloween gear. Just as long as you stick with popular costume styles, that is...because several aisles' worth of costumes can't provide the range of styles or sizes of costumes that a specialty store can offer.

One "step up" above this type of costume display are the Spirit Halloween Stores and other temporary costume stores. Many of these, like the Spirit Halloween company, are full-time, year-round costumers...BUT for most months of the year, they offer their costumes on-line only. During September and October, Spirit Halloween Stores (and the others like them) pop up in vacant retail spaces throughout Arizona and the USA. If you're familiar with the Calendar Club...which sells calendars in temporary seasonal stores & kiosks every Christmas time, then vanishes every January...then you'll get an idea of what the Spirit Halloween Stores are trying to do.

And still one "step up" further are the year-round, dedicated costume stores. These are generally one-of-a-kind stores (not "chain" stores) that thrive full-time by bringing the public costumes for any and all occasions. This includes costumes for community dramas & pageants; Renaissance festivals; Santa Suits, etc. By heading to a year-round costume shop, you'll find the fullest range of costume sizes and types that are available. On this list, ONLY year-round Arizona costume stores which have their own websites have been included. This is so that you can see what the store offers before you waste your time driving there...only to find that the store doesn't carry what you want.
