Get ready for a hair-raising good time at the Spooktacular Halloween Extravaganza, coming to Fairmont Grand Del Mar on Saturday, October 26. This ghoulishly fun event is set to bewitch Del Mar, California, starting at 5 p.m., and promises to be a night of frightful delight for both the young and the young at heart.
A Haunting We Will Go
As the sun sets on the picturesque Del Mar coastline, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar will transform into a spooky playground for Halloween enthusiasts. The Grand Social, the hotel’s outdoor lounge, will serve as the eerie epicenter of this spine-tingling celebration. With its sprawling 25,000 square feet spread across three distinct levels, there’s plenty of room for ghostly gatherings and monstrous merriment.
Trick-or-Treat Extravaganza
For the little goblins and ghouls, the Spooktacular Halloween Extravaganza offers a Trick-or-Treat adventure like no other. Kids can explore enchanting stations that will spark their imagination and fill their treat bags. They’ll encounter a friendly Witch in Candyland, where sweet dreams (and treats) come true.
In the Mad Scientist’s lab, they’ll witness zany experiments that might just bring Frankenstein’s monster to life. And what Halloween would be complete without a visit to a magical garden, where they’ll meet an iconic princess and villain straight out of a fairy tale?
Grown-Up Goblins Welcome
While the kids are off on their candy crusade, adults can indulge in some Halloween hijinks of their own. The Grand Social offers private cabanas and fire pits where you can relax and sip on spellbinding seasonal cocktails. It’s the perfect spot to watch the festivities unfold or simply enjoy the crisp autumn air with a warm drink in hand.
Thriller Night
As the evening progresses, the energy will rise with the help of a lively DJ spinning Halloween classics and modern hits. But the real showstopper of the night will be a special Thriller performance by Scripps Performing Arts. Get ready to see zombies rise from their graves and dance in perfect synchronization – it’s a sight that would make Michael Jackson proud!
