Halloween at the Downtown SLO Farmers' Market

Kick off the Halloween weekend with us with a fun-filled evening of costumes, candy, and karaoke!
Join us for the spookiest night of fun in downtown San Luis Obispo! Activities include the beloved Trick-or-Treat Trail at dozens of downtown businesses, a Costume Contest in Mission Plaza, festive photo opportunities, and “Scary-oke!” (a karaoke contest, but with a spooky twist). This event is free, family-friendly, and open to the public!

Dress up in your spookiest (or silliest) costume and follow the trail map through downtown San Luis Obispo as you collect candy from dozens of participating businesses.
