Happenings throughout the county

Frights and Delights

San Diego is a place that can scare up the fun all year long — but when October rolls around, things get weirdly wonderful here, as the destination embraces the Halloween spirit with all kinds of spooky and spectacular happenings. You can visit the city's most haunted spots; go on a ghostly tour or two; take in family-friendly experiences at our world-class attractions like SeaWorld San Diego's Halloween Spooktacular and LEGOLAND California's Brick or Treat; or join the costumed crowds for such awesome parties as the San Diego Zombie Crawl in the Gaslamp Quarter. The options are so wide-open that it's almost frightening; be sure to check back here starting in September for all the details, plus word on the newest events.

Find Your Halloween Fun

Mild autumn breezes in San Diego usually echo the region's welcoming spirit — but as October's end approaches, a spooky wind sweeps in and strange things begin to go bump in the night. From family-friendly fright fests and historically haunted tours to terror-filled scream zones and wild trick-or-treat parties, Halloween in San Diego scares up plenty of fun for all ages.
