The San Bernardino rave scene injects itself with a bit of Halloween flair at this annual music fest—this year dubbed Escape Psycho Circus. Insomniac Events—the group behind EDC and the Wonderland series—is setting up multiple stages at the NOS Events Center; last year’s headliners included Zedd, Ice Cube, Excision, Richie Hawtin, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Galantis, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Alok and Morten. Explore the grounds to find mazes alongside ominous artwork and freak show performers.
While fall foliage is sparse in L.A., there’s no shortage of Halloween spirit. It’s October, so it’s the perfect time to head to an Oktoberfest, haunted house, pumpkin patch or spooky movie screening. If Halloween isn’t really your holiday, then celebrate the end of summertime and enjoy one of the best hikes in L.A. sans the summertime crowds. Regardless, you’ll find something to do in L.A. in our October events calendar.
