PLUMAS COUNTY, California — October 30, 2026. In Plumas County, organized trick-or-treat options on Halloween Saturday are distributed across the Lake Almanor, Indian Valley and Portola areas. A local October 23 roundup provides community-specific hours that make more sense than one generic countywide event.
Saturday, October 31: events and important date distinctions
Chester merchants’ trick-or-treat
When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 3–5 p.m.. Where: Main Street, Chester.
The Lake Almanor Area Chamber announces a merchants’ treat route; local school volunteers are expected to assist pedestrian crossings. Original listing or organizer.
Portola Trunk or Treat
When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 4–7 p.m.. Where: Commercial Street, Portola.
City program includes treats, a maze, costume activities, and optional food vendors. The organizer’s address and hours appear in the county roundup. Original listing or organizer.
Graeagle safe trick-or-treat
When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 4–6 p.m.. Where: Downtown Graeagle.
Graeagle Land and Water and the California Highway Patrol are listed as organizers of a community program. Original listing or organizer.
How to organize a realistic day
Choose the closest town: Chester, Portola and Graeagle are not one walking route. The Portola Library also lists seasonal family activities during the day. For Indian Valley residents a separate 5–7 p.m. Taylorsville trunk-or-treat is available per the same local report.
What else to know for the weekend
The Quincy Chamber’s downtown trick-or-treat is Friday, Oct. 30, not Saturday. Mountain temperatures may drop sharply after sunset.
Public-safety and accuracy reminders
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Date-specific source calendars are linked above. Programs may move because of rain, public safety, organizer decisions, limited capacity or staffing. Check actual venue and ticket pages again immediately before leaving, and do not assume the hours of an earlier year’s event. Some cultural remembrance programs occur on Sunday, November 1 and should be described distinctly from Halloween. Use sidewalks, crosswalks and supervised treat routes.
