California’s Great America announced the debut of an all-new “immersive”, family-friendly Halloween event, Tricks and Treats. This new event is designed for guests of all ages who want to celebrate the fall season without the intense scares. The new event invites guests to join in on festive fun with a trick-or-treat trail, Halloween-themed games, and activities, and live entertainment along with delicious fall-inspired foods, sweets, and drinks. Tricks and Treats will take place Fridays through Sundays starting September 23 – through October 30.
Upon entering the park, guests will be immediately immersed in the Halloween fun with a choice of four themed areas to start from. The Main Stage sits adorned with a giant pumpkin as the event’s centerpiece of all festivities. During the day, it is a picturesque family backdrop perfect for capturing fall-inspired memories. As the evening approaches, guests will notice the large festive Jack o’ Lantern coming to life with a fiery light, taking on a soft uncanny glow.
From there, guests can choose their path by embarking on the festive Lands of Treats or one of the mischievous Lands of Tricks, each with its own mystery and fun in store. The Lands of Treats is made up of Everfall and Sweet Tooth Acres, both rich with joyful memories of bonfires, Halloween sweets and cozy fall feels. Guests will enter an autumnal fall festival, and sugar-spun candy farm decor displayed everywhere imaginable. For those looking for more mischievous fun, the Lands of Tricks offers Spooky Spires and Ickyville. These playful areas will have guests drawn to a splat-tastic monster party and an eerie classical speakeasy populated by gothic surprises.
Tricks and Treats event, which runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 23 through October 30, plus Thursday, October 20. Thursdays and Fridays from 4:00 – 10:00 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from noon – 10:00 p.m., and is included with regular park admission.
