Spooky Santa Ynez
Get ready for a frightfully fun evening at Spooky Santa Ynez! On Friday, October 24, the first block of Sagunto Street at Edison transforms into a festive Halloween block party for all ages. From 4 to 9 PM, the heart of Santa Ynez will come alive with music, costumes, and community cheer.
Show off your spookiest, funniest, or most creative look in the costume contest at 6 PM—if you dare! Then, grab your blankets and lawn chairs for a free outdoor movie screening of Coco beginning at 7 PM on Sagunto Street.
Before the movie, stroll the “Boo-tiques” for festive shopping and enjoy the Wicked Vine Wine Trail with sips from local favorites. The town’s restaurants will be open for dining, so plan to grab a bite and enjoy the seasonal spirit. With festive lights, charming decorations, and photo-worthy backdrops, Santa Ynez will be picture-perfect for your Halloween memories.
Be sure to tag your photos with @sychamber and @enjoysantaynez—we love seeing how you celebrate! This event is the perfect way to kick off your Halloween weekend.
