Ghost In The Rocks Festival
It’s well and truly spooky season, which means Australia’s biggest Halloween festival is set to descend on The Rocks once again.
Start your journey with a visit to The Haunted Woods, where you’ll find live entertainment and over 20 Halloween-themed food stalls. When you’re ready, it’s off to The Murder Bar for potions for all inclinations. The Halloween Market and parade are beckoning, so don’t linger too long!
Entry to the festival is free, but certain events like The Dark Dinner, Ghost Cinema and Murder Mystery Party are ticketed.

Book a Spooky Stay
If a haunted event isn’t quite enough for you, why not consider a spooky stay for maximum chills? Airbnb has a whole bunch to choose from with everything from luxury manor houses and castles to secluded spots and converted churches.
Halloscream at Luna Park
Luna Park will be undergoing a spooky transformation this Halloween with an abandoned hospital-themed scare maze, roving performers and unlimited rides. You’ll have the op to enter The Carnival Beneath, where you’ll explore a forgotten circus full of eerie clowns and twisted performers. And for the VIPs, access to Squid Game: The Experience is a given. Try your hand at Round & Round and Red Light Green Light if you dare.
From $110
Thursday 30th October to Saturday 1st November, 6pm to 10pm
Enjoy Haunted Tunes by Candlelight
We adore a concert by candlelight so a Halloween-themed evening is tempting, to say the least. Settle in for 60 minutes as a string quartet serenades you with Halloween classics. The perfect way to ease into spooky season!

Sydney’s iconic party spot is back from the dead this Halloween for a one-night takeover at The Collective in The Rocks.

Jurassic Lounge: Halloween Edition at The Australian Museum
This iconic over 18s Halloween party is back again, letting you in on the hallowed halls of The Australian Museum. You’ll have the unique op to get groovy under an enormous whale skeleton, sip on spooky cocktails, participate in the best-dressed comp, soak up a silent drag show, and indulge in a spot of spooky craft.
