The Spooky Swapmeet is back for some halfway to halloween shopping!
The largest Halfway to Halloween is coming back to Los Angeles this April! Spooky Swapmeet was founded in 2021, and with year 4 just around the corner, there’s no telling what surprises they have for us! We covered the event last year and it was a great time shopping, eating, and getting scared.
The press release revealed today: “Get extra dark with the addition of more nighttime hours, when Spooky Swap Meet V returns to Heritage Square Museum Los Angeles from Friday evening, April 25 through Sunday the 27th.
Featuring 60+ vendors selling a mix of used Halloween decor and props and new merchandise, Spooky Swap Meet has sold out each day of the event since its start in 2021. “The evening hours were a hit last year with vendors and attendees alike so we added more, " states Claire Dunlap, producer and co-creator. On both Friday and Saturday, the event will run until 10pm, allowing for even spookier shopping and trick-r-treating.”
Spooky favorites like Trick or Treat Studios, and Strangecvlt, as well as convention and online favorites Tee No Evil, Backstitch Bruja, SpooksieBoo, and Kreepsville 666, will also be selling some new, and gently used items during the event! If you want to grab some good deals, the Spooky Swap is the best place for it.
Guests of all ages are also encouraged to trick-or-treat for real candy at Heritage Square's seven Victorian-era manors, whose exteriors have been decorated and “spooked up” for the weekend by a curated selection of professional and amateur haunted attraction designers including LA Haunted Hayride, A Mr. He Slasher, Sanatorium Emporium, Stagefright Theater, Samhain’s Restless Farm and more… Guests are also invited to see live performances by the Little Ghoul’s ethereal duet The Satin Puppets! Live shows and walk-thru haunted experiences are also a part of the offerings for SSM 2025.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 8, 2025, at www.spookyswapmeet.com. Spooky Swap Meet will be open Friday, April 25, 5pm-10pm; Saturday, April 26, 1pm-10pm; and Sunday, April 27, 10am-5pm.
