Halloween in Gold Coast

Halloween on the Gold Coast hits different when you swap the supermarket costume aisle for something with actual atmosphere. This year's Halloween Gold Coast lineup runs from candlelightt evenings at heritage venues to guided ghost hunts through streets with genuinely dark histories. Whether you want a seated concert or a walking tour that makes the hairs on your arms stand up, there's a ticket here with your name on it.

Not everything has to be full-horror. Some of the best Halloween Gold Coast experiences are about mood: fog, low light, a good story told in the right place. The Candlelight event at The Imperial Hotel is exactly that. If you want to go further, the haunted cemetery tours and city ghost hunts around greater Brisbane are a solid step up. Book early. These events sell out as October gets closer.
