Things to do
Time to wake up that one person who is not a fan of September because we are almost at the end. Here's how to get into the Halloween spirit:
- Nights of the Jack: The family friendly Nights Of The Jack Halloween experience is back for its sixth year. Walk through a nearly 1-mile trail of thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, immersive scenes and art installations. Participate in face painting and digital carnival games; watch pumpkin carving or meet a psychic. Food and beverages are available from food trucks and The Spookeasy for adult libations.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
