Orange County’s beloved Halloween festival is back — and this year it’s going old-school.
Creep It Real OC unveiled its 2026 theme over the weekend, and for its seventh year, the three-day event is embracing “Vintage and Hometown Halloween,” an homage to the Golden Age of Halloween, inviting guests to step into a world of old-fashioned spooky fun.
The festival returns to the Heritage Museum of Orange County September 11-13, running from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. each evening. This year’s lineup promises the largest food and drink offerings in the event’s history, alongside over 130 Halloween vendors, Instagram-worthy photo ops, live music, and roaming characters ready for selfies — with more attractions still to be announced.
Tickets are $20 for single-day admission, while the $50 Creepin’ Weekend Pass grants access to all three days. Attendees can also pre-order exclusive event merchandise, including a t-shirt, tote bag, or a bundle of both. For tickets, merch, and more information, visit creepitrealoc.com.
