Hallowbaloo: Costumes, music, food, arts, and craft beer festival

Hallowballoo is a local favorite and the event promises to give you all the Halloween vibes, so get in on the action and dust off your best costume. Make sure you get creative to try and win a large cash prize in the costume contest! What's more, there's a Craft Beer Festival with over 25 beers and seltzers to taste while roaming Oahu's spooky streets lined with costumed folk. What a treat!
Aloun Farms Pumpkin Festival
Aloun Farms will be hosting its annual pumpkin-picking festival to bring Halloween spirit to this popular tropical island. This family favorite event is the real deal. From a pick-your-own-pumpkin excursion to hayrides and farm-style food, drink, and games, you’ll feel like you stepped right into a New England pumpkin patch. There's something for everyone to enjoy, including pony rides, photo booths, and seasonal games.
The Pumpkin Festival is on for the final three weekends of October, and tickets can be purchased at the door.
Oahu Mystery Tour
Why are Hawaiian ghosts different from other ghosts? Well, for starters, they play a much bigger role in Polynesian culture than your average, run-of-the-mill poltergeist.
Mysteries of Hawaii not only showcases local hauntings and creepy legends but also exposes you to some of the ceremonial events that Hawaiians use to interact with the supernatural. It’s a truly different and special approach to the notion of Halloween; it’s perhaps more educational than truly frightening.
Check out all the hauntings in Hawaii, whether it's along Waikiki Beach or in Honolulu, this native Hawaiian-owned ghost tour company has all bases covered with master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui.
Pumpkin picking
Pick your pumpkins from a pre-cut patch, feed animals at the animal farm, take a cow train ride, play in the Lil' Rascal Zone, or launch a pumpkin from the Pumpkin Cannon to get into a festive fall spirit. Located north and east of Honolulu, this farm is easy to reach with a car rental or even a moped ride.
Getting In: Admission to the Waimanalo Farms Pumpkin Patch is free; pumpkins and activities priced separately.
Waimanalo Country Farms' Fall Harvest Festival gives you the chance to pick your pumpkins from a pre-cut patch. Enjoy the fresh air as you pursue the perfect pumpkin and stroll through the sunflower fields. There's also a country market and food stand where you can purchase fresh produce, farm honey, and handmade gifts.
With plenty of other activities to get stuck into, such as a tractor hayride, animal visits, and the kids' activity zone, this is the perfect Halloween activity.
Haunted Plantation
94-695 Waipahu Street, Fridays & Saturdays in October Located near what’s purported to be a real haunted village in Waipahu, the Haunted Plantation is spooky enough to scare even the most die-hard Halloween fans.
As such, this is probably not suited for children of any age. Known as “Hawaii’s premier haunt,” and one of America's top haunts, the Haunted Plantation provides tons of thrills and chills with over 50 actors in professional Hollywood-style horror makeup, plus terrifying backdrops and eerie sound effects. Expect to be chased and taunted by the spirits of Hawaii during your experience.

Hiking excursions
Fall is a lovely time to get outdoors in Oahu. There are plenty of beautiful scenic hikes to be found, from the mountains to the coastline and the lush forests.

If you're looking for a way to make it Halloween-specific, include a local pumpkin farm in your daily outing.
