Ghouls' Day Out 2026: Halloween Edition

Halloween in Los Angeles usually means a late night. Ghouls' Day Out flips that. On Saturday, October 31, the Halloween Edition fills a daytime window, 10 AM to 5 PM, inside Immanuel Presbyterian Church on Wilshire Boulevard. The organizers' call is simple: "Calling all Ghouls from out of their tombs. Grab your fancy attire and put on your darkest robes." The poster adds a second invitation, "Calling all MCR fans," so expect a crowd that grew up on emo and goth music.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM Where: Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 3300 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90005 Price: $33.77 general admission, free for children 12 and under with an adult

What to expect

The listing is short on schedule details, so treat this as a costume-forward community gathering rather than a ticketed concert. The organizer describes the series as a way to build a community where people can share their joys and sorrows, and the Halloween Edition leans into that. Come dressed for the occasion, whether that means lace and black velvet or a full ghoul.

The setting does a lot of the work. The sanctuary has vaulted wood beams, glowing chandeliers and stained-glass windows, which is about as atmospheric as a Halloween backdrop gets without any set dressing. Bring a camera, because the room photographs well.

Because kids 12 and under get in free when accompanied by an adult, this is also one of the more family-friendly things to do in Los Angeles on Halloween day. Daytime hours mean you can see it before trick-or-treating or an evening party.

Planning your visit

The church sits on Wilshire Boulevard near Wilshire Center, a stretch served by Metro's D Line subway, so transit is an easy option if you would rather skip parking on Halloween weekend. If you drive, allow extra time, since street parking nearby fills quickly on busy weekends.

Tickets and the latest details are on the AllEvents listing linked below. Check it before you go for any update to the schedule or entry rules, since the listing itself is light on specifics.

If you are building a Halloween plan, this fits neatly into a day of LA events this weekend: start here in costume, then head to one of the city's evening parties. For more picks, browse our arts and culture listings.

Ghouls' Day Out is a good fit for anyone who wants a Halloween celebration that is a little gothic, a little nostalgic and open to the whole family.
