Pour the Pumpkin Spice Lattes and grab your sweater weather best because the spooky season is officially upon us (sound the applause)! If you’ve been waiting for Halloween since November 1st of last year, you’ll die for these Halloween Markets we just found haunting in and around LA. These pop ups and shops have creepy cute clothes, fun and festive decor for sale, delicious fall eats, and other frighteningly fun activities to enjoy. Here are 5 Halloween themed markets to check out in LA.
1. The Witches Brew Night Market

If there’s one thing SoCal does better than anywhere else, it’s a Night Market. The Witches Brew Night Market is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween Season. Shop over 35 vendors, enjoy frighteningly tasty food and drinks, snap some pics, and get your tarot cards read. The best part about this event, is that it’s FREE to attend.
2. Oddities Flea Market

Location: The Globe Theatre, 740 S Broadway
If you’re ready to embrace the strange and unusual (a la Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice), The Oddities Flea Market is right up your alley. The Globe Theatre in DTLA transforms into a beautiful gothic marketplace, with over 75 vendors. This won’t be an ordinary shopping trip, though. You’ll find specially curated home decor, like vintage lamps, cheeky china dishes, anatomical curiosities, and more. You’ve never seen anything quite like this!
