The Best Place for trick-or-treating in San Diego is in Tarantella Lane. Decorating for Halloween has become a beloved neighborhood tradition here. Neighbors start planning weeks ahead, and on Halloween night, everyone gets to wander the streets and take it all in while the kids roam for treats.
Halloween was wet this year, but it didn’t matter. Families showed up with umbrellas in hand, and the streets were still filled with creative costumes. That says everything about this community: rain or shine, people show up.
To add something new, I hosted a Halloween Decoration Contest.
People truly went all out! A huge congratulations to this year’s top homes with the winner who won a $200 Home Depot gift card:
What to expect out here during Halloween:
• We usually see around 600 trick-or-treaters between 5:30 and 8:30 PM.
• Neighbors really lean into the spirit with everything from towering inflatables to elaborate skeleton scenes and spider webs.
• It’s an incredibly social evening. Parents chat, neighbors take photos, and everyone enjoys the night together.
Tips for visitors next year:
• If you have little kids, try to get out a bit early—heading out around 5 PM helps younger ones beat the rush.
• Street parking fills up quickly, so find a spot on a nearby perimeter street and walk in. Just be sure not to block driveways.
• Come prepared.
• It gets dark quickly, so glow sticks or reflective gear are smart additions to any costume.
• If a home’s lights are off, they’ve called it a night, so just move along to the next stop.
