What's catching fire in Ventura County.
The six events getting the most views across the county this week.
Haunted Trail & Costume Contest
Conejo Recreation & Park District's kid-friendly Halloween night on the fields behind the Thousand Oaks Community Center. A costume contest runs from 6 to 7 PM, followed by a reptile show and a puppet show, a trunk-or-treat street runs from 6 to 8:30, and the short haunted trail sends groups down by timed ticket from 7 PM. Be at the trail entrance 10 minutes before your slot, and kids under 12 need an adult with a ticket.

About Ventura County Local
Everything happening in Ventura County, in one place.
Ventura County Local is an independent guide to what's happening across the county — from concerts at the Ventura Theater to harbor festivals in Oxnard, hiking days in Ojai, farmer's markets in Thousand Oaks, and the Friday night neighborhood things you'd only hear about word-of-mouth. The site aggregates events from dozens of local sources, hand-picks the best, and publishes a weekly digest every Thursday.
Alongside events, we maintain a directory of 2,000 local businesses, a blog covering Ventura County neighborhoods and real estate, and seasonal guides for things like Mother's Day brunch, holiday lights, and birthday freebies. Everything's free to use, free to submit, and updated continuously.
