Santa Paula Theater Center presents Ghostwalk 2025 on Fridays through Sundays over the weekends of October 10-12, 17-19 and 24-26 Spaces are limited!

GHOSTWALK is Ventura County's original Halloween street theater presentation, a production of the Santa Paula Theater Center, now in its 31st year! Each year GhostWalk is presented in a different historic Santa Paula location. Flashlight in hand, walkers will be led along a route where they hear ghosts tell their tales of how they met their untimely ends. Some of the stories are true and based on history, and others are made up. You decide which is which! Ghostwalk 2025’s theme is “Whispers in the Halls.”

This year’s GhostWalk location is the McKevett Elementary School, 955 E. Pleasant St, Santa Paula. Tour schedules are every 15 minutes from 6:30-9pm on Fridays, 6:30-9pm on Saturdays and 6:30-8:30pm on Sundays. Each tour is limited to 30 people and is an hour long.
