Put on your costume and bring your curiosity to Tech or Treat, a playful Halloween celebration at The Tech Interactive in downtown San Jose. On Saturday, Oct. 31, explore The Tech while stopping at trick-or-treat stations, striking a pose at festive photo ops, and discovering hands-on activities with a delightfully spooky twist. It’s a welcoming Halloween adventure that’s especially great for first-time trick-or-treaters.
What to Expect:
Follow the Halloween fun throughout The Tech with trick-or-treat stations, festive decor and photo ops, and a Skeleton Linkages activity that brings tinkering into the celebration. Want even more Halloween fun? Add a Spooky Slime Workshop or catch a laser show in the Dome Theater.
Laser showtimes include Halloween Spooktacular at 4:30 and 5:15 p.m. and the new Stranger Things laser show at 6 p.m. Members receive discounts on workshops and laser shows, plus access to an exclusive Static Electricity Ghosts member workshop and a free Domi Halloween sticker.

Your Ticket Supports STEAM Education When you celebrate Halloween at The Tech, you’re doing more than having a frightfully fun day. You’re supporting a nonprofit that inspires the next generation of innovators.

College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
The San Mateo County Community College District in California, responsible for the College of San Mateo Theatre, is committed to ensuring an inclusive and equitable environment for all, where programs and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
