Redlands Halloween Guide (2023)

Maybe it’s the costumes. Maybe it's the candy. Maybe it’s the ‘ghosts.’ For us, it’s all the above and more that makes Halloween in Redlands one of our favorite holidays. 

What to Do in Redlands This Halloween

Next to citrus trees, Redlands is best known for its paranormal activity. Don’t let our town’s charm fool you. Our enclave tucked in the Catalina Foothills is home to several lingering spirits (or so the legends go). Discover the 12 most haunted places in Redlands —including two new accounts just recently added!

Want to keep your spooky encounters to just haunted houses? We’ve rounded up Redlands’ best. Please be respectful while you explore. 

This is one of our favorite Halloween events! Held at the Mission Pediatrics Redlands office, this drive-by lights show is coordinated with music!

What Halloween would be complete without a fabulous selfie! Stop by the Redlands Visitor Center on Halloween 2-5pm to get a free photo in the selfie booth with the Scully family with Maci Mae and beagle bonez. Photos will be instantly delivered to your smart phone by text, email or airdrop. Candy, tattoos, painted rocks, and more!!

Losing a pet is never easy. They’re part of the family, especially during the holidays. Recently the About Redlands team had to say goodbye to one of our own, who particularly loved Halloween. Join us in celebrating your fur babies who are no longer with you by bringing a 4-by-6 photo to the Redlands Visitors Center and adding it to our Pet Ofrenda this Halloween. Write a message on our Memorial Wall honoring those you have lost.

As Halloween approaches, this year the City of Redlands will merge our traditional Downtown event with trick-or-treat activities in the historic Olive Avenue neighborhood.
