Happy Halloween: Giant pumpkins will ghoulishly glitter at Pacific Park

Seasonal Favorite: Free Shows At Santa Monica Pier

If you're ever curious about the season, just look towards the west at Santa Monica Pier. There, you’ll likely see the Pacific Wheel sparkling with timeless and cherished symbols that represent this time of year.

The massive solar-powered Ferris wheel celebrated the Dodgers and their World Series victory on October 30 with a vibrant display of baseball-themed visuals and affection for Los Angeles.

This Halloween night, prepare to see towering pumpkins reaching 90 feet in height! Following that, on the evenings of November 2 and 3, sugar skulls will make their debut in celebration of Día de los Muertos.

You can enjoy everything for free if you're around the pier. However, riding the Pacific Wheel requires a ticket, so remember to buy yours when you get to Pacific Park.

If you can’t make it to the Santa Monica landmark between sunset and 12:30 a.m. on those evenings, don’t fret; you can easily tune in via a free webcam, which is pretty cool!

Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version: Absolutely! A vibrant Día de los Muertos celebration will take place at Santa Monica Pier from 5 to 8 p.m. on November 1 and from 5 to 10 p.m. on November 2.
