INYO COUNTY, Calif. — October 30, 2026. Across Inyo County, the October 31 schedule involves separate Eastern Sierra communities, so the safest plan is to choose one local event rather than assume everything occurs in Bishop. The county education office’s community calendar confirms Halloween listings throughout the valley.
Saturday, October 31: what is actually scheduled
Trick or Treat on Main Street
When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 5–7 p.m.. Where: Main Street, Lone Pine.
Healthy Communities of Southern Inyo County advertises family trick-or-treating. The Inyo County Office of Education’s event listing identifies the Saturday date and time. Source and last-minute checks.
Chalfant Halloween Hot Dog Roast and Trunk or Treat
When: Saturday, Oct. 31; check local event listing for hours. Where: Chalfant Valley.
The Inyo County Office of Education lists this separately from Lone Pine and Bishop; exact attendance conditions should be verified with the organizer. Source and last-minute checks.
Bishop FFA Haunted Swamp
When: Saturday, Oct. 31; verify performance hours. Where: Bishop area.
A Halloween Saturday haunted attraction listed in the local education-community calendar; check age suitability and pricing. Source and last-minute checks.
Plan your Halloween day
Lone Pine’s 5–7 p.m. route provides a clear start and finish for South County families. Bishop and Chalfant programs are geographically separate; large distances and winter nighttime road conditions make two or three events impractical. The Big Pine Halloween Parade appears on October 30, not Saturday.
Sunday, November 1, and other options
An additional museum-oriented daytime program is listed for Laws Railroad Museum in Bishop on October 31, but the calendar should be consulted for departure and activity details.
Verify before traveling
The date of Halloween is Saturday, October 31, 2026. A program held on Friday, October 30, should not be mistaken for a Saturday event. Organizers may change hours, fees or locations. Confirm the latest calendar and any required booking; some tourism and community calendars aggregate submitted listings rather than manage the event themselves. Keep children’s costumes visible, use marked crossings and plan for autumn darkness. For live state-road conditions use Caltrans QuickMap.
