Where to Trick-or-Treat in Long Beach

If your kids are anything like mine, you’ve been getting a daily 7am reminder of how many days it is until Halloween. After a weekend full of trunk-or-treat events and Halloween carnivals, the big day is upon us and we’re here with your guide to trick-or-treating in Long Beach.

Earlier this year, Zillow set out to find out the best trick-or-treat cities in the country. The Trick-Or-Treat Score is based on areas where there are plenty of kids under 10, and where homes are close together, meaning less walking while you’re going door-to-door.

At a more local level, five neighborhoods stood out above the rest. Based on data alone, Zillow picked: Naples, Belmont Park, Cal Heights, Los Altos, and Bixby Knolls. Those are mostly right on the money, admittedly, I had never heard of “Belmont Park” before, but it’s essentially a portion of Belmont Shore.

Taking those into account, here’s your trick-or-treat guide around Long Beach.

Long Beach Neighborhood Trick-Or-Treat Guide

The youngest kids typically start trick-or-treating in Long Beach as early at 5:30, but around 6:30 is more common as it gives people a chance to get home for work and open their doors for little trick-or-treaters.

You’ll see lots of toddlers in strollers and wagon, with older kids running all around. We highly recommend glow-sticks or some sort of light for all kiddos, since the streets can tend to get rather dark throughout Long Beach.

In addition to this list, check out Nextdoor for their treat list where neighbors indicate whether they’ll be offering candy at their house or not.
