Halloween in San Francisco

Halloween in San Francisco hits different when the fog rolls in off the bay. The city's Gold Rush past, Victorian architecture, and notoriously grim crime history give every ghost tour real material to work with. From Pier 39 to the Transamerica Pyramid, the backdrop does half the job before the guide says a word.

Whether you want a proper scare or just a great night in costume, halloween san francisco has both covered. Bar crawls move through lit-up neighborhoods, haunted pub crawls stop at spots with actual ghost legends, and ghost hunts let you collect evidence yourself. Pick your level and book before the good dates go.
