The best Halloween parties in Hong Kong

Dance the night away in a fiery realm at Aqua’s signature Halloween party this year. Taking place only on October 31, dress up in your choice of character or pop-culture reference, and enjoy two hours of free-flow Veuve Clicquot Champagne and two Halloween-themed cocktails. Tickets are priced at $498 per person, or $600 at the door. If you’re not available on Halloween night itself, pop by on October 30 for the special ‘Soware Halloween Edition’, which promises spooky-chic vibes and themed cocktails.

This one’s for the provocateurs among us! Head to Pier 1929 as Spin Sum celebrates Halloween by bringing back one of their most-requested themes: kinky! It’s going to be a wild night of mischievous self-expression, playful discovery, and open vibes as everyone on the dancefloor comes together to celebrate inclusivity. And don’t let the kink theme intimidate you into thinking it’s all going to be leather and whips – everyone is welcome to range between playful and mischievous, hard and soft, or niche BDSM and accessible kink, and to dress the part. 

Swedish producer Axel Boman will headline the music for the party, joined by hypnotic disco vinyl purist Ouissam. Hotel Revelateur runs from 9pm on October 31 until sunrise at 6am on November 1. Only 850 tickets are available, and general tickets cost $780 while VIP backstage access costs $1,500 (inclusive of $1,500 of credit to use on F&B), for access to the dedicated dance floor, VIP backstage bar, and outdoor balcony. There will be a number of tickets available at the door for $888.

This Halloween, soar into a skyline revelry infused with Mexican tradition and urban finesse at OZONE. On October 31, the world’s highest rooftop bar transforms into a Day of the Dead dreamscape – 490 metres above sea level. Envelop yourself in a neon-lit masquerade bursting with glamorous Mexican flair. Resident DJ Miles Slater spins house, R&B, and electronic beats, joined by live percussionist Poncho Rosales and saxophonist Oliver Smith for a high-energy sonic journey. Guests are encouraged to dress in vibrant costumes and ornate masks to become part of the spectacle. Reserve your spot now.

Flower Years takes a wicked turn this year as October 31 brings an evening of spooky brews and Cantopop tunes. Apart from the music and costumes, guests can celebrate our city’s best breweries with three hours of free-flow beer, including Deadman Brewery, Gweilo, HK Lovecraft, and Hong Kong Beer Co. Prepare to also be entertained with live busking performances, DJs spinning nostalgic Cantopop hits, and a range of classic drinking games such as darts, cornhole, and the legendary beer can tower challenge. Early-bird tickets cost $228 until the end of October 29, then the price gets raised to $268. 

Escape room fans will likely enjoy what The Dispensary has in store this year. Join the fun as the bar is transformed into a wondrously wicked prison, and weave your way through barred cells with spooky surprises lying in wait. There will also be live entertainment, electrifying tunes, and two hours of free-flow Veuve Clicquot Champagne, as well as two complimentary Halloween cocktails upon entry. Tickets are priced at $398 per person, or $458 at the door.

It’ll definitely be a Halloween to remember if you choose to set sail on the Aqualuna, Hong Kong’s iconic red-sailed junk boat, for a spooky party. Manned by a crew of tricksters, the junk will take passengers on an adventure along the harbour with sparkling views of the cityscape. Selected sailings will include a complimentary glass of Halloween-themed cocktail or mocktail. We suppose the only thing worth worrying about is chancing upon vengeful water spirits! The Aqualuna Halloween cruise is priced at $320 for the 5.30pm, 6.30pm, 8.30pm, and 9.30pm sailings, while the 7.30pm session costs $398. 

Head up to Terrible Baby on Friday evening to enjoy as Wes, Minor, and Tir spin R&B bangers behind the decks. As the theme name suggests, you’re supposed to go dressed as your favourite anime or cartoon character – from hero to villain, or even fan-favourite sidekicks, there’s plenty of options to choose from! Tickets cost $350 per person, inclusive of one free drink, and if you purchase a one-night stay in Eaton HK’s standard room, it includes two tickets to the party, with two free drinks. No more worrying about how you’re going to stumble home.

Get ready to slay this Halloween with this party by DragJam, as drag queens, kings, and phantom performers rise from the crypt to serve chilling lip-syncs, killer choreography, and fierce looks all night. Expect to see Balatro, Bauhinia Black, Boy Bawang, Cindy Sheman, Falanja, Gin Pan, Gordon Bleu, Holok, Kameleon, Quasiturtle, and Sailor Ying in the lineup. Beware: Drag Manor’s doors are open, but they may never let you leave… Tickets are on sale for $250, which includes one complimentary drink.

The open-air lounge bar within the courtyard of The Mira Hong Kong will play host to the neon-lit music scene of yesterday this Halloween. Local DJ duo Beat Friday will spin a mix of nostalgic Cantopop and Canton Disco hits from the 80s and 90s, so get ready for a hauntingly good time over five hours of revelry, accompanied by dance performers mingling on the dance floor and a face-painting artist who can spice up your look with some creepiness. The dress code is noir black, and the best three costumes of the evening can win a pair of tickets to the Canton Disco Vibes party in November, each worth $900. Tickets are available at $450, which includes two glasses of Hoegaarden beer and a welcome glass of house champagne.

We all know Disney villains are just as iconic as the heroes, and this Halloween, these bad-ass characters finally take the spotlight at Hong Kong Disneyland, as antagonists crash the party to turn the celebrations into the baddest in town. Maleficent sweeps down Main Street, U.S.A. with other villains in a wicked dance party, while iconic hero-villain duos such as The Queen and Snow White, or Loki and Thor, will be roaming the park waiting to be encountered.

Jack Skellington himself takes over River View Cafe for a Halloween feast, the Jungle River Cruise offers a new after-dark voyage with spooky twists, and fans can grab their candy bags to join the return of the Trick-or-Treat Trail. The much-lauded musical Let’s Get Wicked also makes a comeback this season, spotlighting Disney’s most notorious baddies. The Halloween celebrations run until November 2, but Hong Kong residents can enjoy two visits for the price of one at just $879 until December 16.

Everyone’s favourite spooky amusement park event returns! Themed ‘Unboxed the Cursed Collection’ this year, Ocean Park presents six haunted attractions that will test your mettle and have you screeching till you’re sore. Draw a blind box figurine before venturing into a realm where abandoned blind box toys seek revenge (do you feel bad for all the Labubus and Crybabys that were thrown away now?); uncover Hong Kong’s seemingly ‘solved’ gory mysteries; and race against time in mad scientist experiments.

Elsewhere in the park, pick a tarot card and join a cultish blood sacrifice; survive an expedition through cannibal territory; and celebrate the Mexican Day of the Dead without being captured by vengeful ghosts. Take a breather at performances throughout the celebrations, such as paper effigies and Taoist rituals transformed into riveting shows. There will also be nods to the ever-popular KPop Demon Hunters in performances of demon hunters slaying ghouls, and even a devilish boy group named Namja6. 

As always, Ocean Park will be full of spirits and creatures waiting in the dark to scare the pants off unwitting travellers. If you’re a bit of a daredevil, pick up a Little Brother ‘De De’ badge – I Dare You for more ghostly encounters; if you frighten too easy, it’s probably best to pin the Elder Sister ‘Jia Jia’ badge – Don’t Scare Me in a prominent place to ward off those pesky tricksters.

Halloween Fest admissions are available as add-ons to Ocean Park entry tickets. The Dark Spirits Trio Combo Ticket will allow access to The Hatred Box toy zone, The Ritual Mansion cult, and The Cannibal Woods. Alternatively, the Lost Souls Trio Combo Ticket will let you explore The Unsolved Terrors, the H25: Rising Fear lab experience, and The Soul Graveyard. 

These combo tickets are available at $280 per combo on October 24 to 26, 29, and 31, and November 1 to 2. Ocean Park members can enjoy a 10-percent discount on combo tickets, while Aeon cardholders have 15 percent off park admission and 10 percent off the Dark Spirits Trio Combo.
