After picking up your costume at the closest Spirit store or Buffalo Exchange Pacific Beach, you’re ready to go out. The question is: Where?

Here are the best Halloween parties in Pacific Beach and San Diego 2015:

Downtown San Diego Halloween Parties

The annual San Diego Monster Bash in the historic Gaslamp Quarter is legendary. It’s an outdoor party that will have 8 blocks of devilish raging, 3 stages of rocking bands and, of course, a costume contest. You can purchase tickets at the San Diego Monster Bash website.

The San Diego Zombie Crawl is also happening in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. This pub crawl consists of 20 Halloween parties, which also includes 10+ welcome shots, extra goodies and a promise of good partying. Get your tickets at the San Diego Zombie Crawl ticket page.

Love the ocean? Check out the 4th annual Titanic Masquerade, a “haunted” cruise ship heading out of San Diego’s downtown harbor. Prices vary based on level, such as gold versus VIP, providing a great range of price options. From 10 pm to 1 am, you even have time before hand to hit the downtown San Diego Gaslamp Quarter for pre-partying. Get tickets at this link.

Halloween 2015 in Pacific Beach Itself

The great thing about Halloween in Pacific Beach is you don’t have to have a game plan. You can hit one bar for drinks, hit another for dancing and then, let’s be real, hit one of the many great local burrito shops for late night Mexican food.
