CREEP IT REAL OC
SEPTEMBER 11-13
SANTA ANA, CA
Creep It Real OC has become Southern California's premier kickoff to spooky season, transforming the beautiful Heritage Museum grounds into a nostalgic celebration of Halloween's golden age. The 2026 theme, "Vintage & Hometown Halloween," invites guests to step back in time with classic jack-o'-lanterns, festive decorations, roaming characters, and a marketplace packed with Halloween artists, makers, and collectors. Whether you're hunting for one-of-a-kind décor, meeting fellow Halloween fanatics, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this festival captures everything we love about the season.
Fest Tip: If you're planning to shop, consider the Creepin' Weekend Pass. It's the best value if you want to browse without feeling rushed, revisit your favorite vendors, and catch entertainment you might otherwise miss in a single evening.
