Arbor Christian Fellowship opens its doors for a wholesome Halloween alternative, filled with afternoon activities, sweet treats and connection

As we relish the beauty of another Southern California autumn, many families search for a celebration that embraces the joy of the season without the fright. At Arbor Christian Fellowship in Lake Forest, that celebration comes to life as Halo-ween — a free, family-friendly event where fun, faith, and fall festivities come together in perfect harmony.

On Saturday, October 25th, from 3 to 5 p.m., children and families are invited to take part in an afternoon full of laughter, sweet treats, and connection — a place where the only thing spooky is how fast the popcorn disappears!

From the cheerful Cake Walk, where kids win homemade goodies, to Trunk-or-Treating with themed and decorated cars offering candy in a safe, friendly environment, Halo-ween is designed with children’s joy and security in mind. Classic games, bounce-worthy fun, and welcoming volunteers ensure every moment is sprinkled with love and delight.

But more than just fun, Halo-ween is about purpose. It’s a reflection of Matthew 19:14, where Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..." Arbor Christian Fellowship believes in making every child feel safe, loved, cherished, secure, and most of all — vital to God’s kingdom. Halo-ween is an expression of that love — a celebration not of fear, but of faith, fellowship, and the beautiful wonders of God’s creation.

Whether you’re coming for the fresh popcorn, the creative costumes, or simply to enjoy a crisp autumn afternoon in community, Halo-ween promises a space to celebrate all that is good — with Christ at the center.

So gather your family, invite your neighbors, and join us at 23302 El Toro Road, Lake Forest, CA for a truly special afternoon, at Arbor Christian Fellowship — a place to Find Jesus, Grow Together, and Change the World.
