HALLOWEEN SATURDAY
12 VERIFIED EVENTS
By Robert Wrieden | Updated October 2026 | Volusia County Real Estate
I’m Robert Wrieden with Summer Wind Realty Central Florida, and this is the weekend the whole county dresses up. Halloween lands on Saturday, October 31, and this guide covers 12 verified events from Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1. Expect a free costume-and-candy bash at the ballpark, an oceanfront Boo Bash and the Hard Rock’s HOG-O-WEEN party in Daytona Beach, family street festivals in Ormond Beach, a Halloween Fest at City Center in Port Orange, Monsters on MainStreet in downtown DeLand, and a costumed surf contest, a pirate party and free movie nights in New Smyrna Beach. Sunday is the quiet day, and clocks fall back an hour early that morning, so you get a bonus hour of sleep after a long Saturday night. Where organizers didn’t post a price, I’ve flagged it so you can double-check before you go.

Daytona Halloween Bash
11 AM-3 PM | Jackie Robinson Ballpark, 105 E Orange Ave, Daytona Beach
