Halloween Weekend in the AV: October 30–November 1, 2026

Make a local plan for Halloween weekend, October 30–November 1, with a Friday theater outing, a Saturday afternoon gathering and a Sunday cultural celebration. Pick the activities that suit your household, check the organizer's latest information and save the links before leaving. All times below are local Pacific time.

Friday, October 30: a Sherlock Holmes evening.

Stage Fright: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery begins at 7:30 p.m. at Palmdale Playhouse, 38334 10th Street East. The one-man performance explores the atmosphere and storytelling associated with the detective. The current event page lists tickets at $10; confirm seat availability and any additional fees through the venue's ticket page before making plans.

Saturday, October 31: Trunk-or-Treat in Lancaster.

The City of Lancaster's community-center event card lists Trunk-or-Treat from 2 to 5 p.m. at Lancaster Community Center, 44611 Yucca Avenue. Use the city's event information to confirm participation arrangements before heading over. The listing checked for this roundup does not establish admission charges, so do not assume that entry or every activity is free.

Sunday, November 1: Día de los Muertos at the Playhouse.

Palmdale Playhouse's celebration begins at 4 p.m. and brings music, dance and remembrance to the same 10th Street East theater. The program celebrates Mexican heritage and the connection between generations. Tickets are listed at $10; check the current ticket page for seats, fees and visit information.

Remember Sunday's clock change.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, when clocks move back one hour. Sunday's 4 p.m. performance is in Pacific Standard Time. Check that the clock or device you use for your plans has updated.

Keep your plan practical.

A single confirmed activity can be enough for a good outing. If you choose more than one, allow time to travel between towns and arrive before the program starts. For theater visits, check the venue's current entry and accessibility information; for the community gathering, confirm any participation instructions with the organizer. These are selected plans for this dated weekend, so revisit the official links for last-minute updates.
