Warm and dry, with highs near 79 Saturday and 82 Sunday, so do the open-sun stuff early. Saturday goes from the Arts & Sciences Carnival at California Baptist University to Villains Tale and the Kwik Stix fun, and Sunday morning is a trunk or treat.

Punch List rule this weekend: Warm afternoon: do the open-sun stuff in the morning and save shade for later.
The Arts & Sciences Carnival at California Baptist University lands in the morning, the best window for open sun before it warms up. Hats and water help, and confirm hours first.
California Baptist University · Price not listed · Outdoors, open sun
Villains Tale from Enchanted Storybook Market moves the afternoon indoors at Galleria at Tyler, a good fit when the sun is strongest. Details are thin, so look up the time before heading over.
A Kwik Stix event at Lakeshore Learning is an indoor afternoon pick for when the sun is strongest. The listing gives no time, so check with the store first.

A Sunday morning trunk or treat in Temecula gets the costumes out before the day heats up. No hours are posted, so check first.
