October in Long Beach is a Wonderous Time of Year

Around Town

There’s something truly special about October that extends beyond Los Altos and into many parts of Long Beach. The summer crowds have thinned, the ocean breeze feels a touch cooler and neighborhoods—from Belmont Heights to Bixby Knolls—begin to sparkle with autumn charm. Halloween isn’t just a night here; it’s a month-long celebration that winds through our tree-lined streets, coastal paths and vibrant communities.

Here’s how to make the most of October in our great city of Long Beach.

Bixby Knolls First Fridays - October Edition
Belmont Shore Annual Sidewalk Chalk
Art Festival: 10/25/25
Retro Row Fall Crawl: 10/24/25
Pa’s Pumpkin Patch - through 10/30/25
(Lakewood Mall)
Farm Lot 59’s Fall Market - Month of October

As Halloween approaches, the rich history of Long Beach is brought into view as well as its spookier side. Here are some events you may want to look into.

Queen Mary’s “Dark Harbor” - through 11/02/25
Scarium Family Night (Aquarium) - 10/17/25
Official Halloween Bar Crawl - 10/31/25
4th Street Trick-or-Treating - 10/31/25
Halloween Night on Naples - 10/31/25

October is the time to enjoy crisper ocean breezes, neighborhood warmth and playful creativity. Whether you are dressing up for Dark Harbor, trick-or-treating with your kids or simply sipping cider on your porch, October in our city has a way to remind us why we live here.
