A free Kids’ Halloween Festival comes to Bixby Park, 130 Cherry Ave. in Long Beach, on Sunday, October 25, 2026, from 2 to 4 p.m. Children are encouraged to come in costume.
Activities
The schedule lists a bag decorating craft, a pumpkin decorating craft, a skull toss and other Halloween games, and photo spots. A kids’ costume parade and contest closes out the afternoon with prizes.
