FAMILY HALLOWEEN WITH PEACE OF MIND

Halloween should feel exciting—not uncertain.

A great family Halloween starts with knowing where you’re going and what to expect. Halloween at the Fair brings families together at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in a controlled event environment built around organized entry, professional security, active event staffing and clearly defined family areas—so parents can focus more on making memories and less on wondering what’s happening around the next corner.

Professional Security On Site Controlled Event Entry Metal Detector Screening Bright, Active Family Environment

From Trunk-o-Treating and carnival rides to kids activities, food and evening entertainment, the event is designed to keep families together in one active, professionally managed setting. Our goal is simple: create a Halloween destination where kids can enjoy the excitement of the season and parents can feel confident about where their family is spending the night.
