Surfers Paradise Spooktacular 2025

Surfers Paradise Spooktacular offers a frightfully fun Halloween experience for the whole family along the People’s Esplanade. Children and adults alike can trick or treat through multiple themed zones, collect sweet surprises, and enjoy an evening filled with live entertainment, spooky games, and hands-on activities.

The Trick or Treat Trail invites visitors to wander the Esplanade in costume, stopping at various zones to pick up treats and experience Halloween magic at every turn. Beachhouse DJ will keep the atmosphere lively with spooky beats, while live music at the Buskers Circle sets the tone for a night of eerie fun.

Families can also enjoy professional face painting, Halloween-themed games, and creative craft stations where they can make DIY skeleton puppets or decorate their own trick-or-treat bags.

Whether collecting treats, dancing under the stars, or getting crafty, there is something for everyone at this Halloween celebration. Visitors are encouraged to dress up and bring their Halloween spirit for a night of magical mayhem on the People’s Esplanade. Public transport or active travel is recommended for ease of access.
