Spooky Swap Meet, Southern California’s largest “Halfway-to-Halloween” celebration, returns to Heritage Square Museum Los Angeles this April for its fifth year. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, February 8, 2025.
Spooky Swap Meet will be held April 25, 26, and 27, and this year, they’re offering more nighttime hours. 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 10 p.m., allowing for even spookier shopping and trick-or-treating.
Spooky Swap Meet features leading Halloween brands Trick or Treat Studios and Strangecvlt, as well as convention and online favorites Tee No Evil, Backstitch Bruja, SpooksieBoo, and Kreepsville 666, selling selections of new and gently used items, including gothic furnishings, Halloween-inspired decor, baked goods, apparel, props, and more. Fortune telling and food will also be available for purchase.
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 Spooky Swap Meet 2025.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 8, 2025, at www.spookyswapmeet.com. Spooky Swap Meet will be open Friday, April 25, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, April 26, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
General admission starts at $22 for timed entries throughout the weekend, with a first access “Ghost Getter” ticket allowing exclusive access the first hour on Friday for $32, when ticket buyers will be the first to have access to the one of a kind treasures brought in by vendors. Early birds get the one-of-a-kind treasures! VIP parking spots will also be available for the event for pre-purchase for $30.
