Celebrate the Halloween festivities with us in Seward, Alaska!

The Seward Chamber of Commerce invites you to join us for a week-long extravaganza and the start of our "Winter Weekends" promotional event.

Winter Weekends are monthly events throughout the shoulder season to promote our local businesses and share local events, deals, specials and more! This year, the October Winter Weekend will actually be an entire week to prolong the festival fun of Halloween. It will take place from October 26th to November 2nd.

Visiting in the fall is a great time to explore Seward! Our town offers a wide-ranging experience, with vibrant autumn colors set against the backdrop of stunning coastal views. The crisp air and serene atmosphere make it a perfect time for outdoor adventures, from hiking to wildlife watching. The crowds are fewer during this time as well, making it a great time to explore nature. 

Lodging

For accommodations, consider a charming waterfront lodge or a cozy cabin close to town and the Halloweek events, where you can unwind and enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean. Many places also provide easy access to local shops and restaurants. Are you visiting us from out of town and need accommodations? Check out our lodging providers here!
