Feel free to recommend more LA Halloween events to us.
Look for this flag to show we have
confirmation for this year's event. The year is listed next to all
events because some folks don't update their webs until the last minute. Please
check with the venue if you see an old date.. most likely the party is still
happening. LA loves to party... but they're very slow at updating their
webs.
for
recently added info or changes after I've got this year's info posted..
Kid and family friendly Halloween events. Read the event details.
Sometimes only certain shows are suitable for younger kids.
The early bird (or
bat) has more fun! Events marked with this bird and his breakfast are open
earlier in the month. More events to plan for, more fun all October.
