Halloween Things to Do
Family fun by day, haunted adventures by night.
Here, spooky season means pirates, ghosts, and even alligators. Celebrate Halloween with both traditional favorites and experiences you’ll only find here in St. Augustine.
Pumpkin patches pop up early in October, while late September through early November brings night boat tours, a crop maze, ghost tours and paranormal investigations, trunk-or-treats, and two big costume parties—a Masquerade Ball and the Headless Bangers Costume Ball. Ghosts seem extra active this time of year, so plan your trip early to take part in all our Halloween fun.
Halloween Fun for All Ages
From pumpkin patches and trunk-or-treats to haunted walks and spooky pub crawls, October in the Oldest City brings cozy fall vibes and ghoulish good times.
