Pumpkins in the Park in Redondo Beach 2026

Pumpkins in the Park is the City of Redondo Beach's free Halloween afternoon for families, and it lands on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Perry Park. If you are building a list of things to do with kids LA has on offer before Halloween, this South Bay stop is an easy one to add: no ticket, no reservation, and nothing to buy to join in.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, listed as 3:00 to 6:00 PM Where: Perry Park, 2301 Grant Ave, Redondo Beach Cost: Free Hosted by: City of Redondo Beach

What to expect

The city describes an afternoon of family fun built around the basics that make a neighborhood Halloween party work. There are games and prizes for the younger crowd, treats and light refreshments, a costume parade, and a photobooth for the family picture. It is pitched as an event for the whole family, so expect a mix of toddlers in animal costumes, school-age kids chasing prizes and parents hanging around the edges with coffee.

The costume parade is the centerpiece. Plan to dress up, and consider something comfortable enough for a few hours at a park. A photobooth is a nice excuse to get everyone in a matching theme, and the booth gives you a keepsake without fighting for a spot at a crowded pumpkin patch.

Before you go

One note on timing: the event's own listing carries a placeholder time block of 8:00 to 11:00 AM, while the description from the city says 3:00 to 6:00 PM. We list the afternoon hours as the likely real ones, but check the Local Anchor page or the City of Redondo Beach before you leave the house.

Perry Park is a residential neighborhood park, so parking is street-based and fills up as the event gets going. Arrive early, walk the last few blocks if you need to, and bring a bag for treats and prizes. Light refreshments are provided, but a water bottle never hurts on a warm October day.

Making a day of it

Redondo Beach is a short drive from the pier and the beach, so the party pairs well with a late-afternoon walk by the water.

Pumpkins in the Park is a low-key, free way to get into the season with your kids, and a good reminder that some of the best Halloween plans are the small ones run by your own city.
