SAN FRANCISCO — Halloween night in the Fillmore is set to include a free family night market with trick-or-treating, classic cars, costumes, food vendors and live entertainment.
The organizer, Burge LLC Production, lists Fillmore After Dark: Kids Scream Zone & Halloween Night Market for Saturday, Oct. 31 from 4 to 9 p.m. at 1500 Fillmore St. Admission is free and the event is advertised as open to all ages.
When and where is the Fillmore Halloween Night Market?
Saturday, Oct. 31, from 4–9 p.m. in San Francisco’s historic Fillmore District. The organizer’s public listing uses 1500 Fillmore St., San Francisco, CA 94115 as the event address.
The listing describes a broader neighborhood corridor experience, so 1500 Fillmore is best treated as the event’s published address rather than a claim that every activity will sit at one exact point.
Is Fillmore After Dark free?
Yes. The organizer says admission is free and open to all ages and offers a free RSVP through Eventbrite. The listing also describes the event as family- and pet-friendly.
Food, shopping and other purchases from individual merchants are separate from free admission.
What is the Kids Scream Zone and trunk-or-treat?
The organizer describes a dedicated Kids Scream Zone & Trunk-or-Treat with hands-on activities, spooky mini-houses and vintage classic cars used as a trick-or-treat trail.
That makes the event more than a conventional vendor market: families can move through Halloween activities while also browsing the Fillmore corridor.
What are the costume-contest categories?
The organizer lists prizes and bragging rights for Scariest Monster, Most Creative, Best Duo and Family Group looks.
Costumes are encouraged, but the public listing does not say that a costume is required for admission.
What else is planned?
The current organizer listing advertises:
- live stage entertainment and youth dance showcases;
- street-food pop-ups and a merchant bazaar;
- artisan crafts and local makers;
- vintage classic cars;
- a neighborhood crawl and Fillmore Bingo;
- shopping and merchant promotions along the corridor.
Specific performer times and a full vendor roster are not yet presented in the public listing in a form SF News Today can independently verify. Check the organizer’s latest page if a particular act or vendor is the reason you are going.
How should you get to the Fillmore?
The event is in a transit-rich part of the city, but Halloween-night service and traffic can change. Check SF News Today’s live transit desk and SFMTA service information before leaving.
If you drive, expect neighborhood parking demand to be higher than on an ordinary Saturday evening and allow time to park away from the event address.
Will Fillmore Street be closed for the event?
The organizer confirms the Oct. 31 event, but SF News Today has not yet verified a city-issued event-specific street-closure or Muni-reroute plan for the Halloween night market as of Oct. 16.
That distinction matters: the event itself is confirmed; a particular traffic-control plan is not. We will update this guide if SFMTA or another city source publishes a specific closure or reroute.
