San Gabriel Fall Fun Festival Is Set for October 30: Trunk-or-Treat, Haunted Zone and Costume Contest

SAN GABRIEL, Los Angeles County — October 25, 2026. The City of San Gabriel has announced a Fall Fun Festival for Friday, October 30, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Mission Playhouse Plaza, 320 South Mission Drive. The city’s official event page lists a Haunted Zone, costume contest, food trucks, Trunk or Treat, games and family photographs in the Historic Mission District.

What should families know before attending?

The city is advertising a family-focused Halloween celebration, but it does not establish that any particular food vendor or activity will be available throughout the entire four-hour period. Residents should check the latest event page for changes, accessibility information, parking and organizer instructions. The Haunted Zone and Costume Contest have separate registration information; the city directs participants to its registration portal or the in-person recreation office at 250 S. Mission Drive. Registration opening does not guarantee remaining places.

Upcoming civic meeting on October 26

The official October municipal calendar lists a Design Review Commission meeting Monday, October 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.. This is a separate public meeting, not part of the Halloween festival. The same calendar labels the October 12 Planning Commission meeting canceled and lists Council meetings on October 6 and 20. Readers should not infer that canceled meetings occurred or that agenda proposals were adopted.

The city’s Agenda Center includes recent City Council records, including an amended October 20 agenda. For civic decisions, consult the specific documents and later minutes. City Hall is at 425 S. Mission Drive, phone (626) 308-2800.

San Gabriel News welcomes confirmed neighborhood event updates and civic records.
