Saturday, October 31: events and important date distinctions

Swank Farms Fall Festival and Terror in the Corn

When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.. Where: Swank Farms, 4751 Pacheco Highway, Hollister.

Visit San Benito County’s October 31 calendar lists the final festival day, with prices from $17 to $78 depending on package and activity. Check age recommendations for the haunted corn experience. Original listing or organizer.

How to organize a realistic day

Families with younger children can select daytime fall activities, leaving the darker scare experience to older participants. Before purchasing, verify whether a ticket covers both experiences and whether parking has separate conditions. Large farm attractions may have lines and changing entry cutoffs.

What else to know for the weekend

An earlier Casa de Fruta pumpkin listing ended October 30 in some tourism sources; do not assume the same activity remains open on Saturday without fresh confirmation.

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.
