Decorated Homes & Neighborhood Halloween Displays

Neighbors have shared several locations with Halloween decorations around Simi Valley. These are community-submitted observations rather than organized public events. Decorations, visiting hours, access and participation can change. Please view from public streets or sidewalks, keep driveways clear, and respect residents' privacy.

• 996 Carefree — a neighborhood Halloween display described as a free walkthrough; check for any on-site instructions before entering.

• 264 Hermes — decorated home.

• 4657 Barnard — decorated home.

• Christine Street near Hope — seasonal decorations near the corner.

• Kane Street — several homes reported with decorations; no specific addresses confirmed.

These displays are not guaranteed to be lit or open every night. Families may prefer a short drive-by or walk before making special plans.

A Few Helpful Halloween Reminders

For trick-or-treating: Carry flashlights or reflective items, cross at marked intersections where available, accompany young children, and check candy before eating. Avoid entering private property beyond clearly invited paths.

For pets: Keep treats and chocolate away from animals, secure doors when greeting trick-or-treaters, and use a leash and identification if taking dogs out.

After Halloween: Remove candles, paint, plastic decorations and artificial materials from pumpkins before considering composting. Check local collection rules rather than assuming your curbside bin accepts whole pumpkins.
