Since debuting as a festival last year, the Sydney Ghost Festival has yet again transformed The Rocks and Circular Quay into a ghost town (literally) for this year’s Halloween.
The Ghost Festival is described as Australia’s first ever Halloween Festival, and from 30 Oct to 2 November, functions as a four-day street event with free entry for all. With more than 115,000 visitors last year, the festival has been declared a big success.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully says that the overall accessibility of the festival is what sets this festival a part.
“One thing festival goers don’t need for fear is their budget with plenty of free activities on offer from live music to street performers and even a dark art trail, so there’s endless fun to have without spending a dollar.”

During the Ghost Festival’s four-day run, you will have the opportunity to enjoy Ghost Cinema at Cadmans Cottage which offers outdoor horror screenings at night with exciting cult classics and live performers who might just sneak up mid-scream and the House of Horrors Party where a multi-level haunted house turns into a tech-house rave with themed rooms and live DJs.
Highlights of the festival also include the Poliakov’s Haunted Woods — a ring of eerie cabins serving delicious eats from Messina, Gong Cha, and more. Here, there will also be a Poliakov Vodka Main Stage that will keep the crowd attending dancing with monster DJ sets and also offers chilling cocktails.
The festivals more family0friendly activities would be the Sydney’s Halloween Market, a charming artisan day-market that at night transforms into a fog-filled and candlelit bazaar of magical trinkets and spooky surprises and the Halloween Parade on Friday 31st October,
“This spooky spectacular will bring Sydney’s streets alive with Halloween spirit, so whether you want family friendly fun, to party, be scared, or soak up the ghostly vibes, Ghost Festival is the place to be,” explains Minister Scully.
Entry to the festival is free, but some events are paid and will require bookings.
