Festival of Halloween

New venue announcement coming soon!

Festival of Halloween is coming back to Adelaide!

The Festival of Halloween is Hallozween’s flagship event — a celebration of all things spooky, creative, and community-driven. What began as a passion project has grown into one of Australia’s most loved Halloween events, bringing together artists, makers, performers, and Halloween enthusiasts from across the country.

In 2025, the Festival of Halloween reached its most successful year to date — and in 2026, it will take its next big step forward.

A Breakout Year in 2025

The 2025 Festival of Halloween marked a major milestone. With record attendance, an expanded vendor lineup, immersive experiences, and overwhelmingly positive feedback, the festival confirmed what the community already knew — this event has outgrown the “one-off” category.

Visitors came for the shopping, the atmosphere, and the shared love of Halloween, and left with the feeling that they’d found their people.

A Permanent Home from 2026

In 2026, the Festival of Halloween will move into a permanent home, allowing the event to grow in scale, creativity, and ambition.

  • A permanent base means:

    • Bigger and better event experiences

    • More space for vendors, creators, and performers

    • Enhanced theming and immersive elements

    • A stronger sense of place and community

    Full details will be announced soon, but one thing is certain — the Festival of Halloween is here to stay.

What Makes the Festival of Halloween Special?

The Festival of Halloween is more than a market or a single-day event. It’s a gathering of people who genuinely love Halloween in all its forms.

Expect a carefully curated mix of:

  • Independent artists and makers

  • Halloween décor, art, and collectibles

  • Spooky fashion, accessories, and curiosities

  • Immersive atmosphere and themed spaces

  • A welcoming, inclusive community vibe

Every element is designed with intention — from the vendors selected to the way the space feels when you walk through the doors.

Built by the Halloween community

At its heart, the Festival of Halloween is about community. It’s built by people who live and breathe the season, for people who do the same.

Whether you’re a lifelong Halloween enthusiast or discovering the magic for the first time, the festival offers a place to connect, explore, and celebrate without judgement.

What’s next?

Plans for the 2026 Festival of Halloween are already underway. As details are finalised — including the permanent location, dates, and programming — updates will be shared right here.
