Posted by A few days ago Christina posted about the 3rd annual Santa Monica Zombie Crawl, but did you know Long Beach their own zombie-centric walk/festival coming up later this month?
The 8th Annual Zombie Walk & Festival is set for the weekend October 23-25 at Rainbow Lagoon Park with promises of undead attractions, music, guts, blood, interactive events, and pretty much anything zombie related you can think.

A main draw for the weekend is of course Saturday night’s zombie walk, which starts around 7:00pm as costumed guests gather to roam the streets of Long Beach around Shoreline Village (in a roundtrip 35-45 minute walk).
During the walk, all participants are strongly encouraged to remain in character as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombie behavior. Basically, this means grunting, groaning, slurring, moaning, or simply repeating the word “braaaains” over and over again.
Fun times!
Other highlights of the weekend include:
- Freakshow wrestling
- The official Long Beach Zombie Walk Photo Booth
- A ‘Thriller’ workshop
- A laser tag zombie apocalypse hunt
- Random interval zombie invasions (without warning throughout the day and night a siren will alert and an outbreak will occur).
The Zombie Festival is scheduled for the following dates/times:
- Friday, October 23 from 5:00pm – 11:00pm
- Saturday, October 24 from 2:00pm – 11:00pm
- Sunday, October 25 from 2:00pm – 10:00pm
Check the full schedule via the official website.
Tickets the festival are offered at $13 for a one-day pass, $18 for a two-day pass, or $20 for a three-day pass. Tickets to the Apocalypse Hunt are $8 and sold separately. We also spotted some discount ticket offers for just $6 via our friends at Goldstar (while supplies last), so be sure to compare prices before you buy.

Enjoy!
