In honor of Halloween, the City of Monterey presents a free Trunk-or-Treat and Movie in the Park on the lawn of Colton Hall.

The walk-through trunk-or-treat will be held 5pm-6:30pm. Our feature film, Disney's Encanto (2021), will begin at 6:30pm. Come dressed in costume! There will be food trucks, fire engines, kids' activities, and more.

All are cordially invited to the Historic Downtown Monterey Traditional Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, December 5, 5pm-6pm. Join us on the lawn in front of Colton Hall by candlelight to share in this much-loved holiday celebration.

Enjoy cookies, cider, live music and caroling, and the lighting of the tree to bring in the holiday season. KMBY 1240 AM / 106.7 FM will broadcast the event.

MY Museum is celebrating Our World: Worldwide Day of Play for Children, 10am-12pm. Enjoy a performance by It's Circle Time and an interactive workshop with the Little Sense Maker's Dough To Go team. Reserve your tickets on our website .

We regret to report that the fall camp has been canceled because of low enrollment. Students in grades 3-5 are invited to join Monterey State Historic Park for Autumn Explorers, a 5-day camp exploring the rich cultural history and natural areas throughout the Park and beyond.

Campers will engage in seasonal crafts, activities, and walking field trips in Downtown Monterey, October 6-10, 9am-4pm. Learn more.
