Circus Vargas: Masquerade Under the Big Top
Monday, Oct 19 · Valencia Town Center
Monday, October 19 is the final day of Circus Vargas: Masquerade at the Valencia Town Center. The beloved traveling big top closes its ten-day Santa Clarita run with a Halloween-flavored show of acrobatics, aerialists, and live music under the tent. If you have been meaning to catch it all month, today is your last chance close to home, so check the showtimes and grab seats ahead, big-top shows tend to sell out.

Monday, Oct 19 · Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Co.
After the kids' costume plans are set, the adults get their turn: Wolfcreek Brewery Trivia Night is happening tonight, Monday, October 19, at Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Co. on McBean Parkway in Valencia. Bring a team, grab a handcrafted pint, and put your trivia knowledge to the test for a fun, low-key Monday night out.

Valencia Pumpkin Patch at Valencia Town Center
Open daily through Oct 31 · Valencia Town Center
The Valencia Pumpkin Patch stays set up right on the Town Center grounds all week, open daily through October 31. It is the easiest fall stop in the valley: pick a pumpkin, let the kids enjoy the games and bounce houses, and grab a bite from the food trucks. Golden hour makes for the best family photos, and pairing the patch with dinner at one of the Town Center restaurants turns it into a full outing.
