1. Bring the Kids to Halloween at Hagan

Perfect for families, this annual tradition at Hagan Community Park features games, activities, prizes, and “trunk-or-treat,” where local organizations decorate their cars for the holiday and little ones can trick-or-treat by collecting candy from each trunk. It's a safe and easy way to celebrate with your little ones. This event is rain or shine, and you can find out more at the event website.

2. Sip Local Spirits and Brews

Get into the “spirit” of Halloween by sampling the hand-crafted libations at our local distillery: J.J. Pfister Distilling. J.J. Pfister Distilling produces a range of spirits including vodkas, whiskeys, bourbons, and brandies, and offers visitors a tour and exhibit showcasing the history behind the company dating back to the late 1800s. Rancho Cordova boasts a bustling Barrel District, which features more than spirits. You can find locally brewed beers, hard kombucha and deliciously sweet mead all in Rancho Cordova!

3. Sample Seasonal Fall Produce

Celebrate the autumn harvest by sampling fresh local produce at one of Rancho Cordova’s farmer's markets. Soil Born Farms offers artisanal farm products, pastry, coffee, and produce in a beautiful setting. Or head to Sunrise Station Market, which regularly features live music and family activities every Saturday between 8 am and 12 pm.

4. Test Your Limits At This Haunted House for "Big" Kids

For grownups who want a white-knuckle Halloween adventure, head to the Heartstoppers Haunted House in Sacramento. This Halloween-themed park offers four different haunted maze adventures that are guaranteed to make you scream! Open on Fridays and Saturdays in October, plus extra dates during Halloween week. Tickets and more information are available online.

5. Apple Hill

There's still plenty of time to enjoy Apple Hill! Apple pies, apple cider, corn mazes, pumpkins, local wines, craft brews and great views are all a quick drive away! We recommend visiting on the weekdays, if possible, to avoid the crowds. Take Highway 50 East 'up the hill' and into neighboring El Dorado County. There are dozens of farms and wineries to visit!
