2026 Trunk-or-Treat & Trick-or-Treat Guide
Sacramento and Yuba Counties
Halloween 2026 is Saturday, October 31. This guide collects every trunk-or-treat and trick-or-treat event we could verify for this year across Yuba, Sutter, and Sacramento counties, with extra attention to Yuba City, Marysville, Plumas Lake, Linda, Olivehurst, Wheatland, and Lincoln, the communities where Beale AFB families live. Every entry was checked against an official page, Eventbrite, a city or county site, or local news before being included.

Halloween 2026 lands on a Saturday, so family fun runs all day and evening.
5–8 PM
The common evening window. Where no town hours exist, most families go out from sunset to 8:00–9:00 PM.

We did not carry over any 2025 listing as if it happens in 2026. If a date or detail could not be confirmed for this year, it was omitted rather than guessed. Events marked "held earlier this month" already took place in 2026 and are included only to complete the record.

Sactown SupermomWhat about events on Beale AFB itself?
As of this guide (October 22, 2026), Beale\u2019s Force Support Squadron calendar lists a Trick or Treat Week at Hub Zemke Library running October 19–24 (come in costume, all day) plus Halloween crafts like a Loom Knitting Mini Pumpkin class on October 22. No base-wide trunk-or-treat was published on the FSS calendar yet, but the Youth Center and Chapel have hosted Halloween events in past years, so check bealefss.com/events as the date gets closer. Off base, the events listed on this page are the same ones Yuba-Sutter and Sacramento families are planning around.
Placer County
Lincoln & the Greater Sacramento Area

- 4500 Tuttle Dr, Rocklin, CA 95677

Note: a few online listings attach this event to a Yuba City address, but that address is Hope Point Nazarene Church’s campus; TNT Kidz Center’s own event is at its Rocklin location.

By the Numbers
Official Trick-or-Treat Hours by Town
Most towns in this region do not set official door-to-door hours. Where a city or county has set a rule, it is stated plainly. Where none exists, most families go out on Halloween night, Saturday, October 31, roughly from sunset to 8:00–9:00 PM.
Yuba City
No city-designated trick-or-treat hours
Neighborhoods set their own informal times. The official downtown event is Trick or Treat the Street on Thu, Oct 29, 4:00–6:00 PM on Plumas Street.
Marysville
Trick-or-treating ends at 10:00 PM
Marysville Municipal Code Chapter 9.58 makes trick-or-treating after 10:00 PM unlawful. No official start time is set; most families head out around dusk.
Plumas Lake
No official town hours
Plumas Lake is unincorporated Yuba County, so there is no city to set hours. Most families go out on Halloween night from around sunset to 8:00–9:00 PM.
Olivehurst & Linda
No official town hours
Both are unincorporated Yuba County communities with no designated trick-or-treat window. The nightly pattern applies: sunset to about 8:00–9:00 PM.
Live Oak
No published town hours found
Families typically follow the standard Halloween-night pattern, sunset to 8:00–9:00 PM.
Wheatland
No city-designated hours found
Watch the City of Wheatland and local merchants for community safe-trick-or-treat announcements close to Halloween.
Lincoln
No citywide residential hours
The official Downtown Trick or Treat runs Sat, Oct 31, 1:00–4:00 PM near Beermann Plaza. Residential trick-or-treating follows the standard evening pattern.
Sacramento
No official citywide hours
Tradition is roughly 5:00–8:00 PM. A city curfew keeps minors off public streets from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, and police treat door-knocking after 10:00 PM as a nuisance.
Rancho Cordova
No official citywide hours
The city runs organized events instead, including the Oct 23 Youth Center trunk-or-treat. Residential trick-or-treating uses the standard evening window.
Folsom
No official citywide hours
No city-set door-to-door window; the police department publishes Halloween safety tips, and organized events run the Saturday before Halloween.
Orangevale
No official town hours
Orangevale is unincorporated Sacramento County, so no town sets hours. Standard evening pattern on Halloween night.
Quick Answers
Halloween Questions, Answered
What time does trick-or-treating start?
It depends on your neighborhood. In towns without official hours, most families head out when the sun drops, usually around 6:00 PM, and wrap up by 8:00–9:00 PM. In Marysville, trick-or-treating must end by 10:00 PM by city code. In Sacramento, unaccompanied minors need to be off the streets by 10:00 PM curfew. The trunk-or-treat events on this page each have their own published start time, and several run in the afternoon, which is easier for young kids.
Do I need to register for these events?
Almost all of the events above are walk-up and free, with no registration. The exceptions: Playzeum\u2019s Kids Only Night requires a paid ticket, the California Automobile Museum\u2019s trunk-or-treat is included with museum admission, and FestiFall\u2019s kids costume contest has a small entry fee (the merchant trick-or-treating itself is free). Check the linked source for each event before you go.
Are these events free?
Yes, with the few exceptions listed above. Every event on this page was verified for 2026 from its official source, and events we could not confirm were left off entirely rather than guessed.
We just PCSed to Beale. How do we find our neighborhood\u2019s trick-or-treat route?
Walk the block on Halloween evening and look for porch lights on: in this region, a lit porch generally means the house is giving out candy. Neighboring platoons, school groups, and community Facebook pages for Plumas Lake, Yuba City, and Lincoln are the fastest way to learn the local routine. The community trunk-or-treats listed here are also a great way to meet your new neighbors while the kids collect candy in a safe, well-lit lot.
Is there anything special for military families?
The Yuba County Probation Department\u2019s block party on October 30, the Plumas Lake trunk-or-treat at Eufay Park, and the community events in Olivehurst and Live Oak are the same ones base families pack into each year. For on-base options, watch bealefss.com/events, where the library\u2019s Trick or Treat Week and additional youth events get posted as the date nears.
Make it fun and safe
Halloween Safety Tips for Little Ghouls
Costume Visibility
Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes and treat bags, carry flashlights, and skip loose masks that block a child\u2019s vision. Light-colored costumes are easier for drivers to see at dusk.
Check the Candy
Inspect every wrapper before anything is eaten: toss anything open, torn, or homemade, and keep a separate pile for allergy-friendly treats. Agree on the rules before the first doorstep.
Drive Slowly
Kids move fast and dart between parked cars. Drive well under the limit through neighborhoods on Halloween night, keep headlights on at dusk, and watch for little ones crossing between trunks in parking-lot trunk-or-treats.
Stay on Well-Lit Routes
Stick to streets with working streetlights and lit porches, use sidewalks, and cross only at corners or crosswalks. Skip dark cut-throughs, alleys, and houses that keep their lights off.
Watch Little Ones in Crowds
Trunk-or-treat lots get packed. Hold hands, agree on a meeting spot, and write your phone number on a wristband for older kids. Have older kids trick-or-treat in groups and check in by phone every house or two.
House Rules
Porch light on means open for treats around Beale. Keep walkways clear of decorations and extension cords, use flameless candles in jack-o'-lanterns, and teach kids to never enter a home or car while trick-or-treating.
