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!
