Fright Nights | Now through to Thursday October 31 at Movie World, Oxenford

POPPERZ: Halloween Party | Friday October 25 at Tempo Nightclub, Surfers Paradise
The Gold Coast’s hottest new club is celebrating Halloween (aka Gay Christmas) in style. This is your chance to go all out with your costumes for a shot at winning cash and other prizes.

Halloween Night at YOT Club | Saturday October 26 departing from Mariners Cove, Main Beach
Gather your crew for a spooky night of fun on the YOT Club’s 2024 Halloween cruise. Enjoy eerie cocktails, dance to live DJ sets, and show off your costumes for a chance to win best-dressed prizes – just don’t forget, costumes are mandatory to board.
Sweatshop: Halloween II | Saturday October 26 at Mo’s Desert Clubhouse, Burleigh Heads
After last year’s iconic Halloween event, the SWEATSHOP crew has monster shoes to fill – but we think they’re up to the challenge. Come in your best costume for the chance to win a $500 Billy Bones voucher, and dance along to a stacked lineup of local and national acts. Numbers are tight and this show is sure to sell out, so act fast to secure your tickets.
Sugar Skull Halloween Party | Saturday October 26 at The Art Exchange, Surfers Paradise
Looking for something a little more low-key to do on Halloweekend? Unleash your creativity in a fun step-by-step painting session at The Art Exchange. Wear your best costume, BYO drinks and nibbles and enjoy the festive atmosphere – you’ll walk away with both a masterpiece and unforgettable memories.
Dogs on the Green: Halloween Edition | Sunday October 27 at Benowa State Primary School
Following their hugely successful Christmas in July event, Dogs on the Green presents their Halloween-themed market. Get ready for a howlin’ good time – this free community market was built with dogs (and dog lovers) in mind. Bring your pooch, browse small businesses and support rescue groups in the raffle. Costumes are, of course, encouraged.
