LA Comic Con Saturday 2026: Halloween Day Guide

Saturday, October 31, is the middle day of L.A. Comic Con 2026 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and it happens to be Halloween. That alone makes it the most costume-heavy day of the weekend. If you are sorting through the things happening in Los Angeles on Halloween, this is the one with the biggest crowd and the most going on at once.

Why Saturday

Saturday is the longest of the three days on the floor, and it is the day most of the headline guests are in the building. The convention's guest page lists Bob Odenkirk and Christopher Lloyd for Saturday only. Aaron Paul and Hayden Christensen are listed for Friday and Saturday. Guest schedules shift, so check the official guest page the week of the show before you build a day around one signing.

Families get a Halloween bonus too. The convention has indoor trick-or-treating for kids on Saturday, which is an easy alternative to a cold neighborhood walk.

What's on the floor

Expect more than 800 exhibitors across three halls, plus Artist Alley, gaming tournaments, cosplay contests and a long panel schedule. Anime fans get their own stage in West Hall, and the Main Stage sits on the show floor in South Hall. Popular panels fill on a first come, first served basis, so line up early.

Cosplay is half the point of the show. On Halloween Saturday, expect elaborate builds next to last-minute costumes, and plenty of people who came in character from home.

Tickets and hours

The AllEvents page we cite does not publish a Saturday price or door times, so we are not printing one. L.A. Comic Con sells single-day, weekend and VIP passes through its own site. Buy there rather than from a resale listing, since badges for attendees 16 and older are tied to a name and must be picked up in person with ID. Kids 12 and under get in free with a Kids Pass added at checkout.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026 (confirm hours on the official site) Where: Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Official L.A. Comic Con website

Getting there

The convention center sits at the corner of Figueroa and Pico, next to L.A. Live. Metro's A and E lines stop at Pico station, a short walk from the entrance, and that beats circling for parking on a packed Saturday. If you drive, garages around L.A. Live fill early. Wear comfortable shoes, carry a phone charger and some cash for smaller Artist Alley tables, and read the prop policy before you bring anything large.
