Come out for the 8th Annual Halloween Spooktacular at Mariners Park! This free community event includes music, trunk-or-treat area, a haunted walkthrough, carnival games, bounce houses, costume contests, food trucks, and fun for the whole family! Pumpkin decorating will also be returning thanks to our friends in the City Arts Commission (while supplies last). Food will be available for purchase from local favorites.
Mariners Park & VJ Community Center is located at 1300 Irvine Ave., Newport Beach, CA 92660. Parking is limited. Walking and biking are encouraged. For questions, contact the Newport Beach Recreation & Senior Services Department at 949-644-3151 or recreation@newportbeachca.gov.
