Ghirardelli Square

Ghirardelli Square's Halloween afternoon is a short, free-to-watch family stop on the northern waterfront. The square schedules a magic show at 1 PM, followed at 2 PM by the YAP dog costume contest around the Ghirardelli Square fountain, and hands out Halloween goodie bags on a first-come, first-served basis while they last. The organizers invite families to come in costume and to dress up their dogs too; owners who want their dog in the contest (prizes up to $250) must register through the square's contest page by 10 AM on October 31. It suits young children who enjoy a magic show and older kids who like watching the costumed dogs. Plan on about two hours for both parts. Parking is in the square's garage, entered from Larkin Street or Beach Street.
