The City of Los Alamitos Recreation and Community Services Department would like to invite the community to attend the 15th Annual MemorialCare Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital Long Beach Trunk or Treat presented by Southland Credit Union! The free event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Little Cottonwood Park (4000 Farquhar Ave).
This spooktacular event provides a safe space for families to celebrate Halloween. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in children’s costume contests, pick their very own pumpkin (until supplies last) from the free Pumpkin Patch sponsored by Southland Credit Union, play carnival games, win prizes, visit trunks for candy, shop at vendor booths, jump on moon bounces, ride the spooky train, enjoy the sensory activity area, purchase adult beverages from the beverage garden benefiting the Los Alamitos Community Foundation, and more! Families are encouraged to come dressed in their Halloween costumes to enter the ever-so-popular Costume Contest.
The Costume Contest has five divisions: ages 0-3, ages 4-7, ages 8-12, the family division, and the pet division (dogs must be leashed)! First, second, and third-place prizes will be available for each division. Thank you to our event sponsors, MemorialCare Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital Long Beach, as Title Sponsor, Southland Credit Union as Presenting Sponsor, and Grocery Outlet Long Beach Wardlow as a Gold Sponsor.
