Love Party Lawn Games will take place in the nearby softball field after the ceremony. The party at the picnic area will end at 5pm. Everyone is welcome to come to the campsites for trick or treating after 6pm.

Parking

Carpooling is encouraged, as we have limited parking permits.

What to bring and what to wear

Suggested dress code is your interpretation of “Forest Fancy”. Basically, wear something that makes you feel fabulous and functional for this all-day, outdoor event. We recommend layers and comfortable footwear.

The average temperature in Big Sur for October is high of 73° and low of 49°. Be prepared for possible rain but obviously keep your fingers crossed for clear skies.

If you feel inspired, please also bring:

  • Halloween costume for the evening
  • Lawn games to share
  • Camping chairs
