⚫️ Halloween Maps
There are two great maps in the San Fernando Valley covering:
haunted houses,
spooky yard decorations,
and Halloween pop-ups.
With hundreds of haunts happening every year, I’ll leave the heavy lifting to the experts.
Includes both free and paid events:
⚫️ Trick or Treat
These neighborhoods were mentioned over and over in my TikTok post asking about San Fernando Valley trick-or-treat spots:
Neighborhood | Commenters Said |
|---|---|
Toluca Lake / Toluca Estates | “Toluca Lake is always where it’s at!” • “The streets get completely taken over on Halloween.” • “Nicest houses and loads of candy … bags get full fast.” • Tip: carpool or rideshare due to traffic. |
San Fernando | “Orange Grove Ave. in San Fernando was always lit when I was a kid.” • “Always hitting Orange Grove between Glenoaks and 2nd Street — that’s the spot.” • “Between 1st and 4th Street” mentioned too. |
Burbank | “Burbank (Magnolia & California) always has haunted houses.” • Specific streets: E. Grinnell Dr & N. Bell Aire Dr. |
Northridge | “Sherwood Forest is where it’s at — like trick or treating out of the movies.” |
Valley Village | “Valley Village haunted houses … blocked street for all trick or treaters … king-size candies … houses decorated … parties.” |
Granada Hills | “Louis Street in Granada Hills by Frost Middle School.” Described as a well-decorated area. |
Pacoima | “We do one in Pacoima every year on Kagel Canyon.” • “My fam does a haunted house near Pacoima Middle School.” |
Canoga Park | “All the spooky houses on Arminta St in Canoga Park — really cool haunted house, donation-based.” |
