October in Palm Beach County: Oktoberfest in Lantana, Spookyville, the Delray Halloween Parade, the Mullet Run at the Inlets and the First Night You Open the Windows (2026)

The second half of October is when Palm Beach County turns back into itself: the wet season is officially over, the mullet are moving along the beach, Oktoberfest has one weekend left on Lantana Road, the fairgrounds are running haunted houses, and Delray Beach shuts down Atlantic Avenue for a Halloween parade. Here’s what I’d put on the calendar from the 16th to the 31st, with the dates I could confirm.
