What’s On at Halloween Family Festival

The Entertainment Quarter is turning into a spook-tacular wonderland of tricks, treats, and unforgettable family fun this Halloween!

With free and ticketed activities running across the entire precinct, there’s something for every little monster, witch, or wizard.

Step into a world of whimsical frights and monster-sized fun at Halloween Family Fest. Sydney’s ultimate Halloween adventure for families! From trick-or-treat trails and inflatable playgrounds to dance parties, carnival rides, and interactive zones, this three-day celebration is packed with spooky (but not scary!) excitement.

Explore the magical city of Monsteropolis, collect treats, cast spells, and create unforgettable memories. Costumes encouraged, giggles guaranteed!

Get ready for a weekend full of safe, family friendly Halloween fun. The Entertainment Quarter will be bursting with activities across the precinct:

Trick or Treat Trail

Get your costumes ready and join the Trick or Treat Trail around EQ! Kids can collect lollies and goodies from specially decorated stalls and friendly characters dotted throughout the precinct. Don’t forget to bring a bucket or bag — it’s the ultimate candy adventure in Sydney this Halloween.

Costume Contests

What’s Halloween without costumes? From tiny tots dressed as pumpkins to whole families decked out as superheroes, witches, or ghosts, everyone is invited to take part. Our costume parades and contests will award prizes for the funniest, scariest, and most creative outfits.

Live Shows & Spooky Entertainment

The Main Stage will be buzzing with family-friendly live performances, music, dancing, and interactive fun. Expect roving entertainers, stilt walkers, magicians, and plenty of “spooky silly” antics to keep kids laughing all day.

Craft Workshops & Face Painting

Unleash your creativity with Halloween craft stations, where kids can decorate trick-or-treat bags, make spider webs, or paint pumpkins. Add a finishing touch with face painting — whether they want to be a vampire, fairy, tiger, or glittery skeleton.

Movies Under the Stars

As the sun goes down, settle in for Halloween movie screenings on the big screen. Think family favourites with a spooky twist (details to be announced). Grab popcorn, snuggle under a blanket, and enjoy a magical night at EQ.

And that’s just the beginning — stay tuned for more surprises.

Halloween fun at the EQ!

Halloween has become one of Australia’s fastest growing family traditions and The Entertainment Quarter is Sydney’s home of Halloween fun. Safe, exciting and packed with entertainment, the Halloween Family Festival is where kids can let their imaginations run wild, families can make memories and everyone can enjoy a little spooky magic.

So grab your costumes, bring your crew and get ready for Sydney’s most thrilling family Halloween weekend at The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.

Dress Up, Sydney!

Halloween isn’t Halloween without costumes and we want to see YOUR spookiest, funniest and most creative looks. Think little witches on broomsticks, skeleton families, superhero squads, cheeky pumpkins and even the family dog dressed as Dracula.

Costume Tip 1: Glow in the dark face paint is always a winner (and extra safe when trick or treating at night).
Costume Tip 2: Families that theme together scream together. Think Addams Family, Ghostbusters or a pack of werewolves.
Costume Tip 3: DIY is king. Cardboard wings, sheets for ghosts or handmade wizard hats are fun and affordable.
