Looking for that friendly neighborhood Halloween you remember from your childhood?
Nowhere is that more easily attainable than by just walking over the bridge to Balboa Island.
Island homeowners and merchants go all out for this annual fun fest dressing in costume to
hand out the goodies.
When I first moved here I thought everybody must work for studio prop departments the homes were so lavishly and creatively decked out, and it’s just gotten better over the years. This is Trick or Treating the way it was meant to be – safe, easy, silly and fun – even the pets get in on the action!
With no gifts to be purchased, no grand dinners to be prepared, Halloween allows the kid in all of us to emerge for one crazy night. If you need proof, just show up at the Annual Costume Party hosted by The Village Inn. Whether costumed or not, you can enjoy great music by The Rick Sherman Duo. Who needs a theme park when you’ve got the real thing right here, right now – it’s all on Island time.
