Beverly Hills is a well-known spot to go trick or treating. Full candy bars are often given out and the flats make it easier to walk from house to house. There is also a Witch’s House at 516 N. Walden that is worth seeing.
Silver Lake
Lots of families go to Silver Lake for trick or treating. Armstrong Avenue in the Silver Lake neighborhood gets blocked off so people can go from house to house with ease, and the whole area is basically a block party.

Toluca Lake is great for having family safe fun on Halloween night. It is easier here to find parking here than other places, and several streets are filled with decorated houses. Foreman Avenue and Mariota Avenue are good areas to get candy, as they have several yard haunts right next to one another.
Shirley Ave.
In Tarzana there’s always a lot of trick or treating going on around Santa Rita between Shirley and Tampa. They close off streets to cars for Halloween, because the streets can get really crowded. Almost every house gives out candy, and most of the houses are decorated with spooky decorations.
