What It Is
Westminster Halloween Spooktacular is a free city Halloween night at the Westminster Civic Center on Friday, October 23, 2026. Trunk-or-treat runs 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. (30-plus trunks); Movie Night follows 6:45 to 8:30 p.m. with an outdoor screening of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The program also includes food trucks, a scavenger hunt, and Dia de los Muertos community ofrendas.
Why Go
Free admission, free parking, and a two-part format: trunk-or-treat for the costume crowd, then a movie on the Civic Center lawn once the sun goes down. If you want a low-pressure Friday night Halloween event without a ticket or parking fee, this is a clean pick in central OC.
What To Know Before You Go
Location: Westminster Civic Center, 8200 Westminster Blvd, Westminster. Date: Friday, October 23, 2026. Hours: 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. (Trunk or Treat 4:30 to 6:30; Movie Night 6:45 to 8:30). Admission: free (listed on the city's Eventbrite with a $0 ticket). Parking: free. Pro tip: the 6:45 p.m. movie start is tight on October twilight; bring a blanket or low chair and layer up.
The Honest Take
City trunk-or-treats run on volunteer trunks, which means the costume engagement varies year to year. The Mario movie draws a kid-skewed crowd for the second half; if that is not your scene, the trunk-or-treat window is the main attraction. The end-of-event time appears only on the city's Eventbrite listing, not on its general events page, so confirm on your ticket before you plan a late pickup.
