Some say rock ‘n’ roll is the devil’s music. In that case, consider Las Rosas a special kind of hell. On Halloween night, October 31st, the live music joint pairs up with Hexed Miami and Hardcore for Punx to present Halloween Night of Covers. Starting at 10pm, local bands will embody rock legends and perform famous hits from the likes of Black Sabbath, Patti Smith, Buzzcocks, and more. This free 21+ event will also feature a costume contest, a fortune teller, and goth-laced DJ sets by Rippin Kittin and Dino.

Magistrates of fab-meets-fringe culture, LoHi magazine is teaming up with the Standard, Miami Beach, for a dystopian night swim on Thursday, October 30th. Set in the year 2150, the Paradise Rewired party envisions an “aquatic apocalypse” where a mutated Miami overcomes sea level rise in fanciful neon-hued fashion. Come dressed to impress in futuristic wet suits, “super-coral couture,” or a strange sea creature of your own imagination. 

The portal to hell will open on Saturday, November 1st at Domicile’s Blood Rave. Yes, you read that correctly; it’s a blood rave. Inspired by the opening scene of Blade, this high-octane party promises “strobe-fueled madness” set to heavy techno by Domicile’s resident DJs. Dig out your best pleather trench coat and prepare to get soaked (if you know, you know).

Ghouls and gays are summoned to a month-long Halloween party at Supernatural Haus, a coven of LGBTQ+ creativity and devilish late night debauchery. Friday nights in October, cheer on local drag performers at Hallowqueen hosted by Miami’s own FKA Twink. On Wednesday, October 29th, queer collectives Sonido Erotik and Masisi take over with A Gruesome Halloween party promising sweet treats, $7.77 drink specials and DJ sets spanning ghetto tech, neo-perreo, acid house and more. Save your best ensemble for The Dead Dance on Halloween night, when winners will be crowned across three costume categories: devil wears nada, hex appeal, and dragged to hell.

Brush up on your Time Warp steps: Rocky Horror Picture Show is back at the Miami Beach Bandshell with a special 50th anniversary screening on October 26th. Presented by O Cinema, the cult classic film will show at 7:00 pm with interactive vignettes and sassy commentary led by local drag queen TP Lords, plus pre- and post-show DJ sets by Cavaliere Inesistente. Early arrivals can snag a free movie prop bag, while supplies last.

This huge haunted experience is one of the largest of its kind in South Florida, and this season is stacking up to be the most epic yet, featuring five brand-new haunted attractions and Florida’s only 3D haunted house. Set inside the abandoned Sears at Miami International Mall, House of Horror 2025 spans more than 100,000 square feet of immersive, Florida-inspired nightmares (so you know it's going to be twisted), from cursed swamps and haunted farmlands to post-apocalyptic wastelands and twisted clown funhouses. Outside, two new scare zones—The Harvest and Midway Mayhem—transform the midway into a spooky realm where scare actors and creepy carnival characters lurk. Tickets include unlimited carnival rides (like the Scarecoaster, South Florida’s only haunted roller coaster) and classic midway games. While you're there, explore over 20 food and beverage options, including Halloween-themed treats and liquid courage in the form of beer from Cervecería La Tropical.

Hocus Pocus returns to Factory Town for its biggest Halloween festival yet, a three-night house and techno extravaganza with world-famous DJ and local acts stretched across five stages.

If you missed your favorite DJ at iii points, there’s a good chance you’ll find them here.

For two nights only, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden will transform its lush 83-acre oasis into a Garden of Shadows with fog-lined nature trails, arts and crafts, aerialists and more. Happening on October 24th and October 25th, the family-friendly event will feature interactive moments hidden in the folds of exotic flora. Join an actor-led tram tour in the dark, build a “haunted birdhouse,” sit for a tarot reading or solve mystery riddles to reveal three secret bars. All paths lead to the Arachnid Party Zone with live DJ sets, horror trivia, contortionist shows and other spooky surprises.

Don't count on the luck of the Irish to protect you at JohnMartin’s this spooky season. From October 16 through November 2, the beloved Coral Gables pub takes on a decisively more sinister persona, complete with haunted decor, eerie tunes and a lineup of creepy cocktails that'll help scare you into the Halloween spirit. The Witches Melon Cauldron and sparkling Skeleton Spritz are a couple of the wicked drink specials on offer at this seasonal pop-up.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that a bar named Dead Flamingo would really love Halloween. The Little Havana pop-up will resurrect its Nightmare on 8th Street program with a hip-shaking perreo party on Friday, October 31st, complete with creepy Tiki-inspired cocktails and DJ sets til 3 am. Can’t make it on Halloween night? Stop by any day in October for themed specials and a chance to see Bad Bunny's casita.

The itsy bitsy spider went to Wynwood. On Friday, October 31st, R House will transform into a spine-tingling Web of Nightmares with seven drag performers, themed cocktails, and a $500 costume contest. Miami icon Athena Dion plays host while DJs Cesar Romero and Pressure Point set the vibe, all leading up to a headliner performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 6 winner, Kylie Sonique Love. Superfans can tack on a $35 meet-and-greet experience to mingle with the All Star herself.

Why should humans have all the fun on Halloween? Canines and their well-behaved companions are invited to a sunset soiree at Arlo Wynwood’s rooftop courtyard, Higher Ground, on October 25th from 4–7pm. Learn training tips from a professional canine academy, sample treats from local vendors, and dress up your pup for a prize costume contest.

Move over, Miracle in Miami. Spooky season is upon us, and its growing legion of devotees has a brand new Halloween-themed haunt in Miami this year. The New Orleans-born Black Lagoon pop-up bar is taking over Better Days throughout October. Brainchild of bar pros Kelsey Ramage and Erin Hayes, the month-long experience transforms the late-night Brickell watering hole into a moody, immersive den of cobwebbed décor and boozy potions.

Born in 2019 and officially launched in 2021, Black Lagoon has since grown into a North American phenomenon. For 2025, it returns bigger than ever with 39 locations across the U.S. and Canada—including Miami for the first time. Expect theatrical Halloween vibes, eerie attention to detail and a cocktail menu as imaginative as it is sinister. Dress to kill—there will be plenty of spooky photo ops. Admission to the pop-up is free.

Open year-round for fruit picking, field trips and produce shopping, this picturesque farm in the Redlands hosts its sixth annual harvest festival this season. Tumble through the pumpkin patch, get lost in the massive, five-acre corn maze, wander through the sunflower fields and take a breezy hayride, all while snapping those quintessential "fall vibes" pics. Other activities include an obstacle course, three shaded bounce floors, a shaded lumber playground and live music on the weekends. While you're there, peep the adorable Scottish Highland cows and fuel up with smoked BBQ. Throughout weekends in October, shop from the local vendor market. On Octber 25th, dress up for the farm's first-ever haunted hoedown, Wicked Country, an all-ages Halloween line dancing party.

If a low-key Halloween is more your speed, head to Cleo at Balfour Miami Beach for Potions & Pottery, a clay and mezcal workshop by Miami’s traveling studio, Ocisly Ceramics. Happening October 29th from 6:30–9:30pm, the art-filled evening begins with complimentary tastings and mini-cocktails by Mezcal Amarás, followed by a hands-on workshop where guests will mold, shape, and carve their very own spooky ceramics. All experience levels welcome.
