Halloween is Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026. Ponte Vedra Beach is unincorporated and has no city festival of its own, so its Halloween ran through the library, a Palm Valley restaurant and the GTM Research Reserve, and every one of this year’s events was held before the holiday and has passed. On Halloween itself, Lord of Life Lutheran Church’s pumpkin patch is open noon to 2 p.m. For the night, see our trick-or-treat hours page.

Updated Oct. 31: all 2026 events marked past; Halloween-day pumpkin patch hours added.
