Palm Coast Trick-or-Treat Guide 2026: Trunk-or-Treats, Hall of Terror and Local Routes

Halloween in Palm Coast and Flagler Beach is a block-by-block kind of holiday, and every year I get the same question: where should we go? This is my refreshed 2026 guide. I kept the neighborhood tradition I wrote about last year, but I rechecked every event against official local listings, and I only list dates, times and prices that I could confirm for this year. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which makes planning easy.

Confirmed 2026 trunk-or-treats and Halloween events

According to the Flagler County tourism office's Halloween listings, these are the organized options on the calendar right now. Times and places can change, so double-check with the host before you go.

The Palm Coast Hall of Terror

If your crew likes a real scare, the Palm Coast Fire Department's Hall of Terror is back this year with a Universal Monsters theme. The city lists it for Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, from 7 to 10 p.m. both nights, at Palm Coast Fire Station 21, 9 Corporate Drive. The county tourism listing shows it as free. It is meant to be spooky, so use your own judgment for little ones.

Sugar Mill Plantation: the big one, with a caveat

Sugar Mill Plantation, off Old Kings Road South in Flagler Beach, has long been the area's go-to Halloween neighborhood, with closed streets and crowds in the thousands. The Palm Coast Observer reported that the community had to cancel its tradition in 2024 because of hurricane debris and damage. I could not find any 2026 announcement either way, so please check with the neighborhood before you plan your whole night around it. If you do go, arrive early for parking and bring a wagon for tired little ghouls.

The neighborhoods locals walk every year

These are informal traditions rather than organized events, so there is no official schedule. They are based on what neighbors tell me, not on a posted 2026 calendar.

Flagler Beach bridge streets

Lantana, Avalon and Palmetto, just over the bridge in Flagler Beach, are known for porch decorations and neighbors chatting out front. Pair it with the Wickline Park trunk-or-treat on Friday the 30th and you have a full weekend. Want to see more of the town? Take a look at my Flagler Beach neighborhood guide.

The C Section of Palm Coast

The C Section's winding canal streets, including the courts that start with C such as Cotton, Christopher, Cherokee and Clearview, have a block-party feel on Halloween night. Many homes go all out with props and full-size treats. The canals also make a great backdrop for costume photos.

The B Section off Belleaire

The B Section is a calmer route with well-lit streets and a manageable flow of trick-or-treaters, which suits a shorter, slower walk.

Indian Trails and Matanzas Woods

Both are quieter residential areas that locals mention for easy walking and fewer crowds.

Tips for a smoother Halloween night

• Pick one or two areas and park once. Walking beats driving between streets.
• Bring flashlights or glow sticks and wear light or reflective clothing.
• Drive slowly through any neighborhood after dusk.
• Check the weather and the host's page the day of the event.
• Leave your porch light on if you are handing out candy, and off if you are not.

If you are thinking about calling Palm Coast home

Nights like this are a great way to see how a neighborhood feels in person. Walk the streets, notice the lighting, the sidewalks, how neighbors greet each other, and picture yourself living there. If it sparks a move in your plans, my moving to Palm Coast guide walks through the basics.
