You Won’t Want To Miss This Unique Halloween Festival By The Oregon Seashore

October is the month for fun fall festivals, spooky Halloween attractions, and plenty of family fun. If you’re looking for a unique festival with a parade unlike any other, hop in the car and head to the coast to visit the little town of Seaside. You’re not going to want to miss Halloween Happenins this year.

The little town of Seaside is the perfect fall destination along the northern Oregon coast this season.

There's always plenty to see and do here, from exploring the beach...

...to sampling craft beer. You'll definitely want to plan a trip to Seaside this fall.

The Halloween Happenins Festival takes place this year on October 27th, starting at 11 a.m.. This fun, family-friendly festival is free, and businesses all over town participate.

Get a tattoo (a temporary one, at least).

Or get your face painted with your favorite Halloween design.

Make some Halloween crafts at several different locations....

...hear some Halloween stories at Beach Books...

...and check out the winner of the Great Pumpkin Contest. It's usually over 1,000 pounds!

One of the best parts of this festival is its costume contest and pet parade.

Watch furry friends of all sizes parade past, wearing all kinds of incredible costumes.

These pups are perfectly festive!

At 5:30 p.m., head to Broadway Street for the Halloween Surrey Parade, where you'll see beautifully-decorated surreys pass you by.

Get your costumes ready for this unique Halloween festival on the coast!
