With 90 degree weather and limited trade winds it can be hard to feel like its “Fall Y’all” on Oahu. Luckily the island is not short of fun Halloween events and fall outings!
Here is our round up of some our favorite Fall Fun Activities to get you and your family in the fall spirit:
Pumpkin Patches & Farms

Halloween Celebrations on Base
Base housing is amazing place for trick or treating with many people decorating their porches, handing out candy, and some even create there “haunted houses” in their garages. Trick or Treat times are usually posted by the housing communities. Many units or commands will also organize base Haunted Houses, Trunk or Treats, and fall events. Look for signage on base as well as through the USO or Great Life Hawaii.
Have any fall events you love let us know! I will definitely be cranking up the A/C and enjoying a few pumpkin spice lattes this season pretending I am watching the leaves peeping in Maine.
