For all you Shrek lovers, what can be better than this?! This is so cool, I am thinking about going to this myself. Shrek has been my go to animated movie since it first came out in 2001. It’s all about the first and second movie for me at least but I love Shrek and all the characters and this would be a great event to go to. Shrek is my childhood.

Granada Hills Street Fair
*I’ve been in the Street fair multiple times, it’s one of my favorite things to go to in October. I used to live right near this area so it was very flexible and walking distance for me. They have a lot of cars there because there’s a car show and in the Oktoberfest, I’ve never been to that actually but when we go, we see all the vendors and one time or two, we saw a domesticated owl there which was really cool.
🎬 Valleyween Cinema — Mission Hills

Nights of the Jack at King Gillette Ranch .
This event looks really fun, you can take a long walk throughout this area and check out all the pumpkins, it really gives the Halloween, spooky fun vibes. Truthfully, I’ve never been to this event before however, it’s one of my go to on the list.

👻 Los Angeles Haunted Hayride — Griffith Park
Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
📍 4730 Crystal Springs Dr., Griffith Park
📅 Select nights through November 1, 2026
🕡 Doors open around 6:30 PM
💰 Hayride-only tickets start around $34.99; General Admission starts around $49.99.
* i’ve been to this event once and it was really fun, the line was pretty long when we went a decade ago, however it was worth it, it gave a lot of adrenaline rush and it really gave off the spooky Halloween vibes kind of in a scary way and just being at Griffith Park is so worth it because Griffith Park is haunted, it is known to be haunted. So it’s a perfect place to go for this time of the year.
👻Halloween Horror Nights — Universal City : Halloween Horror Nights is the bigger, scarier option if you want a full Halloween night — haunted houses, scare zones, entertainment and the Terror Tram. Look on website for dates and tickets . Usually starts 7pm but there’s an early entrance for this event with a separate ticket. Ends i’ve been in this event a few times or more at 2am.
