LASSEN COUNTY, Calif. — October 30, 2026. Lassen County’s Saturday option for horror fans is the Susanville-area ‘Frightmare 2026’ theatrical attraction, but this is not the same as the city’s earlier family costume contest. That contest and the courthouse trick-or-treat were listed for Friday, October 30.

Saturday, October 31: what is actually scheduled

Frightmare 2026: The Final Curtain

When: Saturday, Oct. 31; show listed through 10 p.m., confirm entry slots. Where: 472-120 Richmond Road North, near Susanville.

The Lassen County Best of Broadway organization stages a theatrical haunted attraction with performances on several October evenings including Saturday. Admission and age suitability depend on the host’s schedule. Source and last-minute checks.

Plan your Halloween day

Check the show organizer’s booking and recommended age before taking children, because a theatrical scare event may not suit young visitors. Susanville-area public calendars can change with weather. The Uptown Costume Contest on October 30, and the Hall of Justice Friday candy event, cannot be substituted for a Saturday family outing.

Sunday, November 1, and other options

The local seasonal roundup explicitly identifies Frightmare as running Oct. 29–31; no countywide 2026 Saturday parade time was confirmed in the checked sources.

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.
