A number of Halloween events are being hosted locally this month, offering residents an opportunity to stay local this Halloween season. Pumpkin ranches, mystical haunted locations and a spooky theme park will make Santa Clarita the perfect destination for ghoulish delights this fall.
Every weekend in October, the Six Flags Magic Mountain transforms into Fright Fest, a terrifying scream park for some, yet tame enough for the entire family. Wander through haunted mazes, watch spooky live shows and experience roller coasters in the dark, including the infamous roller coaster Colossus, which will run backwards in honor of the spooky event. Kids can participate in craft areas, costume contests, and even roam areas for trick-or-treating. Check out SixFlags.com/MagicMountain for more Fright Fest information.
