Inyo County offers a mix of low-cost community celebrations in Bishop and Lone Pine, plus a more intense paid Halloween-night haunted experience. Because the Owens Valley is large, pick a town and allow time for dark desert roads.

Updated October 11, 2026. Confirm tickets, timing, parking and weather with event hosts. Some activities are fall outings rather than confirmed Halloween celebrations.

Family itinerary

For young children, the October 29 free county Trunk or Treat is likely the simplest choice. Reserve the haunted swamp for older kids. Lone Pine is well south of Bishop, so the October 31 attractions are not all within walking distance.

Safety and accessibility

Do not assume a scheduled event is free unless the source states it. Verify age guidance for scary attractions and reservation requirements for trains or ticketed experiences. Wear warm clothes on mountain and coastal outings, and use marked crossings during downtown candy walks.
