SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, California — October 30, 2026. San Bernardino County families can use several confirmed October 31 activities instead of relying on Friday’s Halloween listings. City calendars and library notices provide suburban and mountain-area choices, but events may have different fees and age limits.

Halloween Saturday, October 31

Chino Halloween Spooktacular

Saturday schedule: Saturday, Oct. 31; city event calendar lists 4–9 p.m., but other city pages show differing hours. Location: Ruben S. Ayala Park, 14225 Central Avenue, Chino.

The city’s event calendar lists Halloween Spooktacular for the park’s Fields 11–13, with activities for families. Because official city pages conflict on time, call the organizer or verify the most recent calendar before arriving. Organizer or source information.

Running Springs Library Friendly Frights

Saturday schedule: Saturday, Oct. 31; confirm session hours. Location: Running Springs Library, San Bernardino Mountains.

A free library-centered Halloween activity is outlined in the local reporting, along with a community book sale. Organizer or source information.

Rialto Halloween Hi-Jinks

Saturday schedule: Saturday, Oct. 31; use city notices for start time. Location: Rialto.

The city’s published October activities include a Halloween Hi-Jinks program. Confirm the updated venue and hours with the host. Organizer or source information.

How to spend the day without wasting time

Chino is a practical Inland Empire daytime-to-evening option; Running Springs is a mountain destination subject to weather and highway delays. Treat the time conflict in Chino’s own pages as a reason to verify, not an excuse to publish an invented schedule. Dress warmly for the mountain event.

Additional context for the weekend

For Sunday, November 1, check the official community calendar before assuming a Saturday venue will keep its seasonal program open. Some Día de Muertos activities occur Sunday but are different from Halloween festivities.

What to check just before leaving

Confirm any updated hours, road closures, age rules, ticket prices and remaining capacity with the source above. Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026; many similar-looking flyers are actually for Friday, October 30. Do not rely on last year’s event page. For highway conditions check Caltrans QuickMap. For families, use reflective costume details, supervised crossings and extra time around crowded parking lots.
