Creep Your Way Into Halloween Night at Mission West’s Annual Halloween Party
The pumpkins are carved, the cobwebs are up, and the dead are (allegedly) rising. Mission West invites Santa Cruz’s ghouls, goblins, and glamorous undead to creep their way into Halloween night at its annual Halloween Party on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 2405 Mission St. Doors open at 5 p.m. Admission is a spooky-cheap $10, cash at the door. This is a 21+ event, because some of the libations are even scarier than the costumes.Live music comes courtesy of Space Heater and Batucada Allstars, two acts guaranteed to raise the dead and get them dancing. Between sets, It’s Good To Be Here DJ Crew will keep the party moving, so the dance floor stays haunted well into the night.

No one should haunt on an empty stomach. Three local favorites will be serving up the eats: Sidequest Pizza, El Buen Taco and Lipslide Grindz. Mission West will be pouring its signature libations all night long, while The Green Spot brings the vibes.And finally, bring your best, boldest, and most bone-chilling look for the Costume Contest. Whether you’re a full-blown horror masterpiece or a last-minute bedsheet ghost with a dream, the stage is waiting.
