HALLOWEEN HAUNTS 2024

Just the mention of Halloween Events in Orange County… and little kids scream with delight! And not just kids…right? We adults too, find it enjoyable and entertaining. Whether we go to Halloween parties dressed up as our favorite character: hero or villain or take our little ones out in their costumes to fill their candy bags full to the brim; we appreciate and get enjoyment from the merriment of this national pass time. My husband and I like to decorate the front porch, put on some crazy Halloween hat, mask, or blinking headband, and hand out candy. We’ve even been known to jump from around the corner and yell boo! We love to see all the creative costumes and hear the kids from shy to bold shout “Trick or Treat.”

 

I also blog for a specialty grocery store, and each year we feature recipes for kids that make their favorite foods look like a ghoul, or goblin, ghost, or pumpkin. Let’s face it….Halloween is just fun!

That’s why below we have posted Halloween events all across Orange County. Check it out and pick one or more that look like something you and the family may enjoy. Be sure to say you saw them on My Local OC. And if you have a Halloween event you’d like us to post, message us on Facebook, and we’ll be sure to add it. This is just one more way that we at My Local OC are serving those who live, work, and play in Orange County. See you around the OC!
