Madera County Halloween 2026: 5 Family Events in Madera, Chowchilla and Oakhurst

Madera County has a confirmed, ticketed Halloween walk-through at the fairgrounds, free or community-oriented candy events around Chowchilla and Tesoro Viejo, and mountain-town activities near Yosemite. Check whether an activity is suitable for children: some bar and brewery costume parties are adults-oriented and intentionally excluded.

Family itinerary and local tips

For an easy Halloween-night outing choose the Madera Fair timed admission experience. Chowchilla and Tesoro Viejo run on earlier dates. Oakhurst and Coarsegold are in Madera County but substantially farther into the foothills, so group activities geographically.

Before you go

Check the latest event calendar, ticket rules and weather. Keep children visible near roads and parking lots, supervise interactions with animals, and respect age limits. Events labeled as general fall outings are not guaranteed Halloween costume parties.
