Costumes, haunted houses (that serve cocktails), heavy bass, a horror convention, and a party bus. Here's where to spend the spookiest October weekend of the year.

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and Delhi NCR is making a whole weekend of it. Between Friday, October 30 and Sunday, November 1, you can bounce between two venues on a party bus, catch Anjunadeep-linked producer Anyasa at an open-air gig, spend two days at a horror convention with live sets by Seedhe Maut, or walk into a Gurugram bar without paying a cover charge. There's a Noida option too, if crossing the river feels like a bridge too far. Tickets range from free entry to ₹10,499, so whether you're going all out on a costume or just looking for an excuse to go out, there's a party for you. Here are six Halloween events worth getting dressed up for.
If you've ever fantasised a Halloween with a runway moment and drag, this crawl from P0lluti0n (a DJ duo we love) has you covered. And even if you haven't, we still think this is simply unmissable. The night starts at Method, an art gallery we love, then a party bus carries the crowd across town to Auro (a bar we love) for round two, so you get two spots for the price of one. Six DJs playing all genres (their words, not ours!), a runway hosted by Phares Wheel, games, drinks and bites. Dress to impress, because there are prizes for the best costume.
When: Friday, October 30, 2026, 4pm–1am
Where: Method (4pm–9:30pm), then party bus to Auro (till 1 am)
Nearest metro station: Lajpat Nagar on the pink line for Method
Tickets: ₹1,500
If your idea of Halloween involves heavy bass and dancing under the open sky, Nightvibe is worth a look at, too. The open-air party stars Anyasa, the Indian electronic producer associated with Anjunadeep, so this one's definitely for the electronic music crowd, not the jump-scare enthusiasts. Expect plenty of room to move. Come dressed for Halloween, but save the elaborate costume for another party. You'll want the freedom to dance.
When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 8pm onwards
Where: Dirty Good, Delhi
Tickets: From ₹799 onwards
Not every Halloween party needs a haunted house and a crowd of screaming people. If you'd rather spend the night discovering new music, dancing and soaking up a spooky atmosphere, Earth Tapes is the one. Hosted at Auro, it's a good pick for anyone who likes their Halloween a little more... (buried) underground.
Check the lineup before booking, especially if you're heading out for a specific DJ. The music is the main draw here.
When: Saturday, October 31–Sunday, November 1, 2026
Where: Auro, Sri Aurobindo Marg, Hauz Khas, New Delhi
Nearest metro station: Green Park (Yellow Line)
Tickets: From ₹499 onwards
This is the one that calls for a little extra outfit prep. If your heart beats for cosplay, HorrorCon is the place to go all out. It's where horror meets pop culture, with live performances by Seedhe Maut, Wish, Nkshtra and NoizX, plus a packed lineup of comedy shows, magic pop-ups and meet-and-greets.
Yes, it's a music festival, but it's geeky enough to keep the horror nerds happy. Over two days of fear and fantasy, you can meet paranormal experts, bestselling horror authors, eerie podcasters and storytellers. Also expect Bollywood surprises, open mics, film screenings, immersive gaming, food challenges and happy hours. And of course there's a haunted house, because what's Halloween without a little screaming?
When: Saturday–Sunday, October 31–November 1, 2026, 2pm–10pm
Where: NSIC Exhibition Grounds, NSIC Estate, Okhla Phase III, New Delhi 110020
Nearest metro station: Okhla NSIC (Magenta Line)
Tickets: ₹599–₹10,499
If you like your Halloween with great cocktails and just the right amount of dressing up, keep Casa Bacardi at Bellavino on your radar. It's an easy early-evening stop, with a lineup of around ten artists. Entry is free, which makes it a handy option for a spontaneous night out. Along with the crafted cocktails, expect pop-ups and group games.
When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 6pm onwards
Where: Bellavino, Gurugram
Nearest metro station: Sector 55-56 (Rapid Metro)
Tickets: Free entry
You’ll have a live DJ playing party anthems at this Noida bar favourite, Halloween-themed food and drinks, haunted photo zones and a dance floor built for a squad night out. Dress code is simple: come as your creepiest self. Vampires, witches and ghosts are all welcome, and so are people who just want to dance.
When: Saturday–Sunday, October 31–November 1, 2026, from 7pm
Where: Rubarru, Garden Galleria, Noida
Tickets: Single entry ₹1,000, couple entry ₹1,500 (cover charge fully redeemable at the venue)
If your idea of a spooky night involves candlelight and cocktails rather than a haunted house and jump scares, Rumour is worth a look. The Vasant Vihar speakeasy is turning itself into a mysterious hideaway for five days, with themed pours, a wine tasting and DJ nights. The spot itself is vintage-styled behind a concealed entrance. There’s a four-cocktail Halloween menu with playful presentations, plus Halloween-inspired additions to the newly launched food menu.
Each evening has its own theme:
Tuesday, October 27: The Haunting Begins, with special pours and Halloween surprises
Wednesday, October 28: Halloween-edition wine tasting
Thursday, October 29: Trick, Treats and Cocktail Trees, with spooky cocktail trees and wicked pours
Friday, October 30: The Dark Night, with DJ Raemon and Jhanvi on the decks
Saturday, October 31: The Wicked Hour, featuring Half & Half with DJ Aaryan Bhagat and Essjay
There’s no mandatory dress code, so go full costume or just add a touch of gothic drama.
When: Tuesday–Saturday, October 27–31, 2026, 6pm–1am.
Where: Rumour, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi
Entry: Reservations via District
