Twentynine Palms Halloween Bash Draws Hundreds for a Spooktacular Night of Family Fun

The City of Twentynine Palms Parks & Recreation Department hosted another fang-tastic Halloween Bash, presented by Mojave Moon Apothecary, on Friday, October 31, 2025, at Freedom Plaza. The event brought together hundreds of costumed families, local organizations, and businesses for an evening full of festive fun, community spirit, and sweet treats.

This year’s Bash featured 30 Trunk or Treat participants and 5 local food vendors, each transforming their booths and vehicles into creative candy and food stations. Altogether, these groups and businesses handed out candy, played themed games, and brought their most imaginative setups — from SUN OF THE DESERT’s Coyote Carnival and movie-themed displays to classic cartoons and video games.

We would like to congratulate this year’s “Ghoul’s Choice Award” winner — the Hope Center Church — as well as this year’s “Mayor’s Monster Mash Masterpiece Award” winner — Mojave Moon Apothecary.

“We love seeing the community come together like this every year,” said Community Events Coordinator Scott Clinkscales. “Between the creative trunks, local vendors, and the incredible turnout, it’s clear this event has become one of Twentynine Palms’ favorite traditions.”

An estimated 1,000 residents and visitors attended the Halloween Bash, enjoying music by DJ LX Zandro, food vendors, games, and photo opportunities throughout the evening. Costumes ranged from adorable toddlers in pumpkin onesies to detailed recreations of movie and comic book characters.

Feedback from attendees and participants was overwhelmingly positive. Families praised the safe, walkable environment and the community-centered atmosphere, while vendors appreciated the lively crowd and well-organized setup. Many called it “the best Halloween Bash yet.”

The City extends its gratitude to Mojave Moon Apothecary for being the presenting sponsor of the event, as well as to all the local businesses, service groups, and volunteers who contributed to making the evening such a success.

Special thanks also to our sponsors at 29 O’Clock and Bowladium Family Fun Center.
