Redcliffe Markets Festival of Frights
Unleash spooky seaside fun at the Redcliffe Markets Festival of Frights along the Redcliffe Foreshore this October 2026. Local families can browse 200 market stalls, sample gourmet street food, join a kids disco and scavenger hunt, and showcase their best costumes for an exciting Halloween evening by the bay.
Redcliffe Markets Festival of Frights 2026
Redcliffe Festival of Frights is back for its 6th year on Saturday 31 October. The twilight market turns the Redcliffe Foreshore into a Halloween wonderland, with food, entertainment and fun for all ages.
With over 200 market stalls, visitors can find Halloween treasures, handmade crafts, sweet treats (no tricks, promise!) and snacks from some of South-East Queensland’s best gourmet street food vendors.
Live entertainment runs on the main stage, with roving Halloween creatures wandering through the crowd all night. Families can join a scavenger hunt and a Kids Disco, and the popular Best Dressed Competition returns, so costumes are encouraged.
Entry is free, and there’s plenty more to discover on the night!
