HALLOWEEN EVENTS IN LOS ANGELES
Marina Spooktacular is a Halloween party on the harbor, featuring L.A.’s only haunted pirate ships. There’s fun and scares for all ages, but the frights intensify as night falls over Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey during this two-day festival. Free admission. Make sure to tag us: #mdrhalloween and #ilovemdr on your social media posts.
Face painted masks, designs, for kids and adults, with sheen and sparkles. A great selection of designs for all ages.
Presented in partnership with the Ford Theatre Foundation, participatory Dance JAMs teach the history and basic moves of various dance styles from around the world.
Take a creative photo on the festival grounds and upload to social media with #mdrhalloween. This year we have three categories: Best Ensemble; Best Kid Costumes (12 & under); and Best Pet Costumes! The winning photo of each category will win a Marina del Rey swag bag with a dining gift card to Tony P’s Dockside Grill! The winners will be notified via DM during the week of October 29.
