What It Is
The Stanton Halloween Festival is a free city Halloween night at Stanton Central Park on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 4 to 8 p.m. The program includes games, entertainment, food trucks, and costume contests split by age group, plus a pet contest at 7 p.m.
Why Go
Free admission, no preregistration, and a tightly scheduled contest grid makes it an easy evening even if you are only coming for one age bracket. If you want a city Halloween night without any ticketing, Stanton runs a clean, well-run version of the format.

The Honest Take
City festivals rise and fall on turnout. Stanton Central Park has the space for the format, and the age-tiered contest grid prevents the typical crush at the stage. Parking is not called out on the city page, so give yourself a buffer if you are arriving right at 4.
