Redondo Beach Pier 9th Annual Halloween 2026

When: Friday, October 30, 2026, 6:00 to 9:00 PM Where: Fisherman's Wharf, Redondo Beach Pier, 100 Fisherman's Wharf, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Cost: Free, all ages

The Redondo Beach Pier turns into a Halloween block party on Friday, October 30, for its 9th annual celebration. It is a free community event with costumes, music and candy, and it lands right before the holiday weekend, which makes it an easy pick among the things to do with kids LA families look for in late October.

What to expect

The evening centers on a costume contest, with prizes for the best costumes, so kids (and adults) are encouraged to dress up. A DJ keeps the music going along the pier, there are Halloween-themed photo setups for the family album, and organizers are handing out giveaways.

Trick-or-treating runs along the Pier and the Boardwalk at participating businesses, while supplies last. Expect small shops and eateries to put out candy, so plan to wander the whole length of the pier rather than staying in one spot. The pier setting, with the ocean on one side and the harbor on the other, gives the night a different feel than a neighborhood street.

Who it suits

The event is open to all ages, which makes it a good fit for toddlers in costume, school-age trick-or-treaters and teens who want to enjoy the music. Families searching for family events Los Angeles has to offer on a free budget will find this one easy: no tickets, no registration listed, just show up in costume.

Practical info

• Alcohol, pets and smoking are not permitted on the Redondo Beach Pier.
• The schedule is subject to change, and the event is weather permitting.
• Trick-or-treating depends on which businesses participate, and treats last only while supplies do.
• Parking near the pier fills up on busy evenings, so arrive early or consider rideshare, and bring a jacket since the ocean air cools down after sunset.
