The Sanctuary of Spooks! Family Halloween Event

Our Halloween fest for families is back with a spooky haunted barn, costume catwalk, pumpkin carving, snacks & treats, and of course, resident meet & greets. Costumes encouraged! Bring a blanket and vegan picnic to enjoy in the meadow!

Our cobweb-covered gates open from 12:00-3:00pm, so families can come or leave at any time. 

No walk-ins. Once we sell out, we can add you to our waitlist and may notify you if there are cancellations. 

The Main Events:

  • The Costume Catwalk! The Categories are: Rancho Compasión Animal Residents (see images), Spooky, Cute, and Wacky-Quacky . All guests can participate!

  • Pumpkin Carving Contest & the Pumpkin Toss: Think you’ve got the chops to wow our judges? Come up with your best jack-o-lanterns at our pumpkin carving station, and at the end of the event, we’ll present your carved pumpkins to our pigs and other residents (aka, the Judges) and let them decide the winner–by whichever one they eat first!

  • DIY Screen Printing: Bring a cotton t-shirt, bib, blankie, canvas tote, or anything else you want to have custom screen-printed!
