It's Roger's Gardens, in Corona del Mar, which is spookily synonymous with a highly creative Halloween Boutique, an annual treat that opens each year near the end of August.
The 2026 shop debuted Aug. 29, with a tantalizing theme that is full of mystery and magic: You've been invited to a Moonlight Masquerade, a revelry that is full of masks, butterflies, sparkly webs, moss-covered candelabras, and merry pumpkins.
Peek inside the limited-time attraction now, then make your way to Corona del Mar in the coming weeks before the multi-room Halloween Boutique, like a masquerade, must dance its final dance.
