On Saturday, October 24, from 11am-2pm, the annual Halloween Fun Fest in Downtown San Mateo will bring ghoulish fun to residents and visitors of the Peninsula and beyond. The US Bank parking lot will transform into a free, mini-Halloween carnival featuring music, costume contests, Halloween crafts, an inflatable bouncy house, face painting, a pumpkin patch, candy and more.
With easy parking and transportation to Downtown, the Halloween Fun Fest is a convenient and accessible location for parents to bring their children. Afterwards, families can go trick or treating to many of the 750 Downtown San Mateo merchants who will be passing out candy and treats.
“This event is great because it allows people to celebrate the holiday with safe, community oriented fun,” said Kelly Mitter, Executive Director of the Downtown San Mateo Association. “Parents don’t have to worry about the well-being of their children out at night, and everyone can join in on seasonal fun. Everyone here in Downtown San Mateo is committed to offering our community with ‘all the ingredients’ of a traditional Downtown that offers the best in fashion, food and services.”
