Oceanside’s Sunset Market Transforms Into a Halloween Haven

Oceanside Sunset Market’s Annual Haunted Market is back, creating a bewitching atmosphere that’s perfect for ghouls and goblins of all ages.

Oceanside Sunset Market

A Frightfully Fun Free-for-All

This family-friendly event promises an evening packed with Halloween hijinks. Little monsters under 12 can kick off the night with trick-or-treating, filling their bags with sweet treats from participating vendors.

But the fun doesn’t stop there—the treats keep flowing until they’re all gone, so early arrival is key for maximum candy collection!

Costume Capers and Creepy Contests

As the sun sets, the Haunted Market comes alive with a festive costume parade. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off those creative costumes and maybe even win a prize in the vendor costume contest.

And for those with a flair for the dramatic, the Evil Laugh and Blood-Curdling Scream Contest is sure to raise some spirits (and maybe a few eyebrows).

More Than Just Market Stalls

While the Halloween theme takes center stage, the essence of the Sunset Market remains. You can still indulge in a global culinary adventure, peruse unique retail offerings, and groove to the beats of a live DJ. It’s a celebration that captures the community spirit of Oceanside while adding a spooky twist.

A Community Tradition With a Ghostly Twist

For 17 years, the Oceanside Sunset Market has been bringing people together every Thursday evening. This special Halloween edition is a testament to the market’s ability to evolve and create magical experiences, blending the familiar charm of the weekly event with the excitement of Halloween festivities.

This free event is open to all, with special trick-or-treating for kids under 12 starting at 5 PM. Don’t miss the costume parade at 6 PM and the laugh and scream contest at 8 PM!
