Let the ghoul times roll at annual Halloween festival
The time has come to eat, drink and be scary as the 10th annual Trick or Treat Festival rolls into town from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Orange County Marketplace in Costa Mesa.
Observe famed pumpkin sculptor “Farmer” Mike Vallado chiseling designs from 450-plus-pound gourds. Or stuff your own gourd at the Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest at noon.
Little monsters can grab candy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Dr. Demento pays tribute to Weird Al Yankovic at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
The shock doc will lead the procession of antique, classic and other tricked-out hearses through the city at 10 a.m. into the back of the marketplace.
So if you’re feeling batty fly in for a few bites and enjoy the festivities at the Orange County Fairgrounds, 88 Fair Drive. For more information, call (949) 723-6616.
