The beach cities go all in on Halloween, with pumpkin races on the pier, costume parades through neighborhood parks, and whole downtown blocks closed off for trick-or-treating. If you live in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach or Redondo Beach, there is something happening almost every weekend of the month.<\/p><p>This guide rounds up the family-friendly Halloween traditions across the South Bay, shares a few tips for younger kids who are not quite ready for the spooky stuff, and explains why a Halloween-themed private party at Scooter&#8217;s Jungle El Segundo is one of the easiest ways to celebrate with a group of kids. If you already know a party is the plan, you can jump straight to our <a href=\"https:\/\/scootersjungle.com\/el-segundo\/package-page-el-segundo\/\" style=\"color:#388502;font-weight:700;text-decoration:underline;\">private party packages<\/a> and pick the one that fits your crew.<\/p><p>One quick note before you plan: city events shift dates from

Main Street turns into a kid-sized festival with costume contests, carnival games, bounce houses and trick-or-treating at the shops along the block. It is walkable, free to attend, and built for families, which is exactly why El Segundo parents mark it on the calendar early.<\/p><p>Recreation Park also tends to host smaller Halloween happenings for little ones in the lead-up to the big day, like story time around the fire circle.

Families decorate pumpkins, fit them with wheels, and send them rolling down a ramp while the crowd cheers. It is free, it is outdoors, and kids of every age get a kick out of it. Build your racer at home the week before and make an afternoon of it.<\/p><p>The city also puts on a Halloween Carnival at Manhattan Heights Park with games, crafts and costume fun aimed squarely at the elementary set. Between the two, Manhattan Beach families have a daytime option and an evening option without leaving town.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fae0b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5fae0b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Hermosa Beach: Pumpkins in the Park<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-003c931 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"003c931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hermosa Beach keeps it charming with Pumpkins in the Park, a neighborhood pumpkin patch set up by Friends of the Parks.

The Riviera Village Halloween Trick or Treat stroll shuts Catalina Avenue to traffic so thousands of costumed kids can go shop to shop in a safe, car-free setting. It happens on Halloween afternoon, so it is a great warm-up before neighborhood trick-or-treating.<\/p><p>Halloween on the Redondo Pier brings the celebration to the waterfront, and in recent years Seaside Lagoon has hosted a sandy, beach-themed Halloween afternoon with a bounce house, games and a costume contest.
