While the weather may not show it, Halloween Time is here and with it comes a lot of great fall activities. These are just a few of our favorites but the options are endless!
Nights of the Jack
October 11th – November 4th
King Gillette Ranch - 26800 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas
This is a great event suitable for all ages. Over approximately ½ a mile, you will see thousands of hand carved and painted pumpkins of all shapes and sizes! Pumpkins are erected into larger creatures and may even feature your favorite fictional or real life person! Tickets are available for specific time slots so that the path doesn’t get over crowded and you can truly take in the amazing craftsmanship! It takes around one hour to walk the entire path.
