Have you spotted any?
Word is spreading quickly among the fairy community that Venice (called The Kingdom of Venezia in their realm) is the place to be! More than 30+ fairy doors can be seen throughout the downtown historic district. To find out who has moved in and where they have hidden their magical homes, go to VeniceFairies.com at the link below. To find the doors shown above, explore the first and second floors in the Island Plaza building at 101 West Venice Ave.

Instead of a formal children's parade this year, we are doing a casual COSTUME STRUT for all ages as a safer alternative! Shop, dine and support local businesses while you wear your spooktacular outfit! The east bound lane of West Venice Avenue (from 200 to 300 block sections) will be closed to traffic to allow everyone to enjoy a pedestrian-safe, spacious area to strut your stuff!

Drive Thru Trick or Treat
October 31st from 6:30pm-8:00pm
Venice United Church of Christ invites the community to its Halloween Drive Thru Trick or Treat event. This is a safe way for the kids in our community to celebrate Halloween. As they drive thru the Church drive, parents will hold up a sign with the number of kids who are in the vehicle, and we will safely provide zip-lock bags of candy for everyone!
