Halloween & Fall Fun in Southern California 2026
Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, costume parties, trunk-or-treats and haunted attractions across Orange County and Southern California, gathered in one place.
A few tips: popular patches and haunts sell out on weekends, so book ahead when tickets are offered. Many trunk-or-treats are free, and daytime events are usually the easiest with little ones. Hours change, so confirm with the organizer before you go.
