Haunted Peninsula

Business Competition

Turn Your Business Into a Halloween Destination!

This October, the Long Beach Peninsula is becoming The Haunted Peninsula, and we're inviting local businesses to be part of a brand-new tradition that will bring visitors from across the region to explore everything our community has to offer.

Best of all, entry is completely FREE!

When you participate, your business becomes an official stop on the Haunted Peninsula. We'll feature your business on this website with photos, a short write-up, and a map marker so visitors can easily find you. As we promote the Haunted Peninsula throughout the month, participating businesses will benefit from the additional traffic generated by the event, bringing more potential customers through your doors during one of the most festive times of the year.

Be Part of the Haunted Scavenger Hunt

Every participating business will automatically become a stop in the Haunted Peninsula Scavenger Hunt. Visitors will travel throughout the Peninsula searching for hidden Halloween items at participating locations, collecting clues for a chance to win prizes from Marsh's Free Museum. This encourages guests to visit every participating business, increasing foot traffic and giving them another reason to stop in and explore.

Competition Categories

Businesses will compete for the title of Best Decorated Business along with prizes and community bragging rights. Whether your style is spooky, creepy, mysterious, or downright terrifying, we encourage you to let your imagination run wild.

Important Dates

  • September 25: Registration deadline. All participating businesses must sign up by this date to be included.​

  • October 9: All Halloween decorations must be fully installed and ready for judging. Businesses that are not decorated by October 9 will be disqualified and removed from the Haunted Peninsula website and scavenger hunt.

Help us transform the Long Beach Peninsula into one of the Pacific Northwest's premier Halloween destinations. Sign up today and become part of the very first Haunted Peninsula!

List Your Haunted House on the Haunted Peninsula!

If you operate a professional haunted house, there's no better place to advertise it this October than the official Haunted Peninsula website. As visitors plan their Halloween trips to the Long Beach Peninsula, our Haunted Peninsula webpage (under construction) will serve as the central hub for discovering haunted attractions throughout the area.

We'll actively promote the Haunted Peninsula throughout October, driving visitors to the website and encouraging them to visit every participating attraction. It's an affordable way to reach thousands of potential guests who are already looking for Halloween entertainment.

  • Featured listing on the official Haunted Peninsula website.

  • Interactive map marker showing visitors exactly where to find your haunted house.

  • Photo gallery showcasing your attraction.
