Long Beach Zombie Walk at Shoreline Village

October 29, 2022 @ 4:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Join Shoreline Village on Saturday, Oct. 29 for a celebration of all things “undead,” when their annual Long Beach Zombie Walk and Halloween Party returns. Long Beach’s favorite seaside restaurant and shopping hub will be alive with the sounds of musical performers soothing the savage beasts, make-up artists, roaming monsters, scare zones, and back by popular demand, the official Long Beach Zombie Walk around Rainbow Harbor. All are welcome to join the corpse parade and all the fun for free before and after the Zombie Walk.

Interested in real zombie makeup? Extreme zombie make-up artists will begin at noon, for a fee. First come, first served. Pricing may range from $20-$100 from these special effect experts. Face-painting for kids will also be available.

Trick-or-Treating kicks off at 4 p.m. when you can join fellow flesh eaters for a family-friendly festival with free candy from all the Shoreline Village tenants. Bring your own treat bag to fill-up. Because a Halloween party is not complete without costume contests, a team of Shoreline Village scary afficionados will name the Best Costumed Family, Best Little Zombie, and Best Zombie Couple for fabulous prizes including up to $100 in gift certificates.

Restaurants and shops will be open for regular business, and many have some Halloween specials brewing. Several fun selfie stations will be available for festive photos along the harbor.

The highly anticipated return of the Long Beach Zombie Walk starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Nautilus Shell. Founder of the event, Logan Crow, will lead the band of misfit monsters to Shoreline Village. The parade of the undead will shuffle, stumble, walk, to Shoreline Village to end the evening with more festivities. Beware of some official scarers along the route!

“We expect to see about 500 people participate in the Zombie Walk, like it was for ten years before COVID forced the event to go on hiatus,” said Debra Fixen, Director of Property Management for Shoreline Village. “Once they make it to Shoreline Village, they can enjoy our main stage with live music and dancing, and of course the restaurants will remain open.”

The musical line-up on Shoreline Village’s main stage starts at 4:30 p.m. and continues until approximately 10 p.m. featuring the following local indie groups:

4:30 p.m. Wormstew (moody pop duo)

5:30 p.m. Velodrone (the grunge-like sound of the 90s)

7:00 p.m. One High Five (alternative and punk)

8:00 p.m. Sweet Dreams Priscilla (tropical gypsy folk)

9:00 p.m. Bootleg Orchestra (electronic soul collective)

All the fun is supplied free, courtesy of your hosts at Shoreline Village and Pacific Ocean Management.
