There’s no better fall event than a classic fair with rides and games, and Visitation’s “Carnival in the Nine Double Oh Four Five” is back this year on October 18 through the 20! This bi-annual event will feature rides, games, music, a beer garden, food, book walk, raffles, face painting, entertainment, prizes and more! Stay tuned for next month’s edition for more info! Visitation is located at 8740 Emerson Ave. in Westchester.

It’s time for your pooch to get creative and strut down the runway at the 5th Annual Howl’oween Costume Contest and Pawrade! The event is free to attend, and tickets to enter the contest are $15, with a percentage of proceeds going to a local dog rescue. Pups will be judged in categories like “spookiest,” “funniest,” and “most creative DIY,” as well as best overall. Prizes will be awarded to the winners! RSVP at runwayplayavista.com/events. RUNWAY is located at 12775 W. Millennium Drive in Playa Vista.
