Join the City of Santa Paula Parks & Rec Dept. for a Trunk or Treat in which kids and their folks go from car trunk to car trunk collecting candy. Come in costume for the Halloween Costume Contest, and enjoy games and food for sale. For older "kids" be sure to check out the annual Ghost Walk. Even though Santa Paula is the citrus capital, there's a fantastic pumpkin patch at the famous Limoneira Ranch, as well.  Happy Haunting!
