Monster Bash Returns!

On Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Rengstorff Park in Mountain View will transform into a lively, Halloween-themed celebration as the beloved Monster Bash returns! This family-friendly fall festival invites ghosts, goblins and ghouls of all ages to join the fun. Don your best costumes and enjoy a jam-packed day of exciting activities, including a Treat Trail, spooky games, mesmerizing live performances, a towering stilt walker, the enchanting Lil Ghouls Corral, and a bounce-worthy inflatable zone. Brave souls can enter the Creepy Crawly Ooey Gooey Zone, while thrill-seekers pedal into the fun with the Bike Circus.

Start your day with a Zombie Bike Ride from the Mountain View Public Library at 9:45 a.m., arriving just in time for the festivities. This event is free and open to the public, with limited parking available at the Mountain View Community Center and Senior Center. We highly encourage walking, biking or using public transit to the event.

Monster Bash is proudly sponsored by the Mountain View Voice. For more information, visit MountainView.gov/MonsterBash.
