HALLOWEEN IS A REAL TREAT AT PASEO NUEVO
Monster Mash Coming to Santa Barbara October 29

Fall has officially arrived, and Paseo Nuevo is excited to host its annual Halloween Monster Mash on Saturday, October 29 in Center Court. All members of the community are invited to Paseo Nuevo, located in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara, for a family-friendly Halloween event. This event is free and open to the public, so everyone is encouraged to stop by and join in on the festivities.

Paseo Nuevo invites children and families to fill the center with their spookiest and sparkliest costumes in search of sweet tricks and treats. This community event is an opportunity for children to dress up in their best costumes and trick-or-treat in a safe environment. Participating retailers throughout Paseo Nuevo, as well as other downtown businesses, will be handing out candy, while supplies last, from 3pm to 6pm.

Attendees can take a stroll down Paseo Nuevo’s version of a haunted house – a creepy corridor that will be decorated with all things spooky. In addition to trick-or-treating, guests can enjoy inflatable decorations and a Halloween-themed float. BOO-gying is encouraged, as there will be a live DJ playing Halloween tunes in Center Court for a costume dance party. Prizes will be randomly handed out to the best dressed costumes, and the first 300 kids to arrive (ages 4-11) will be gifted a backpack with candy.

For more information and specific details about this event, please visit https://paseonuevoshopping.com/events/halloween-monster-mash/.

Look forward to other upcoming holiday events at Paseo Nuevo:
