Halloween in Manila 2026: Where the Grown-Ups Are Going

The weekend before: Saturday 24 October

Escape From Underland is the pick for a proper dance floor a week early. The party collective NOEFFS*GIVEN is turning BHSpaces in Mandaluyong into a darker take on Alice in Wonderland, with industrial lighting and visuals built around the feeling of a dream that has gone wrong.

The eight DJs range from Brian Cua, who has played Manila dance floors for decades, to the acid techno DJ EMS and the trance DJ CNSTNTN, with Tim Dauz, BBSteve, Cal Soesanto, MarkDC and Paracelcius. Expect bass, techno and trance in one room.

• When: Saturday 24 October.
• Where: BHSpaces, Mandaluyong.
• Tickets: prices and door times had not been published on the pages we read. Follow NOEFFS*GIVEN for the release.
• Getting there: Mandaluyong sits between Makati and Ortigas.

Saturday 31 October: three ways to spend Halloween night

Madness Manor is the rave. Two electronic music crews, Ravecore and Hard Dance PH, are building a haunted mansion with "dark laboratories" and performance art at Stratosphere Events Place, on the 4th floor of Century City Mall on Kalayaan Avenue. If you live in Makati, Rockwell or Salcedo, this is the closest of the big Halloween nights.

• Where: Stratosphere Events Place, 4th floor, Century City Mall, Kalayaan Avenue, Poblacion, Makati.
• Tickets: on Ticket2Me. For tables, message @ravecoreph or @harddance_ph on Instagram, or 0905 537 8196 on WhatsApp or Viber.
• Good to know: ticket prices and door times were not on the announcement we read, so check Ticket2Me before you plan dinner.

INTRAMUMU opens the same night in Intramuros. More below.

Sunday 1 November: the street party, day two

INTRAMUMU: Manila Halloween Street Party takes over Magallanes Drive in Intramuros for two nights. There is a DJ competition, a battle of the bands, a costume and cosplay competition, a pop-up market and performances, plus horror, folklore and storytelling activities. Costumes are encouraged, not required.

• When: Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November, 4PM to 2AM each day.
• Where: Magallanes Drive, Intramuros, Manila.
• Tickets: in August, a one-day pass was reported at ₱465 and a two-day pass at ₱930. The organisers have described their online prices as a limited-time discount, so check the official INTRAMUMU page for the current rate. Tickets are non-refundable, and onsite tickets are limited.
• For runners: Run For Your Life: A Zombie Run is a 5km race through Intramuros on 1 November from 4AM to 8AM. Registration is ₱999 and does not include entry to the street party.

If you have kids

Two hotels in Parañaque, both on the Manila Bay side of the city, have Halloween parties for families on Saturday 24 October.

The Halloween Spooky Carnival at Okada Manila runs on 24 and 25 October in the Golden Ballroom, in two sessions a day: 9AM to 12PM and 3PM to 6PM, with games, crafts, a photo booth and a dance party. A child pass is ₱2,388 and an adult pass ₱888, sold at the Okada Kids Club counter and the Relax Hotline until 23 October. Passes are valid only for the session on the ticket, and adults can register only with a child.

Harriwood: The Thriller on Set at Kingsford Hotel Manila is a movie-themed afternoon from 3PM to 5PM in the Kingsford Ballroom, with trick-or-treating and a costume competition. Tickets are ₱1,600 per adult and ₱900 per child aged 2 to 11, booked through the hotel's room reservations or banquet team.

Before you go: costumes, booking and getting home

Book now, not on the night. Both Ghosted and INTRAMUMU tickets are non-refundable. Buy for the night you are sure of.

Dress for the weather and the floor. The Intramuros parties are outdoors, on grass and on the street, so wear shoes you can stand in for hours and bring something for rain.

Plan the ride home before you leave. Intramuros and Cubao are a long ride from the BGC and Makati side, and ride-hailing gets harder to book when big events end at once. Agree on a pick-up point away from the crowd. 1 November is also All Saints' Day, when many families travel to cemeteries, so expect busier roads on Sunday.

Poblacion's street party. Z Hostel has held a Halloween street party on Don Pedro Street in past years, but nothing for 2026 had been announced when we checked on 3 October. Last year's edition was announced on 22 October. If you are in the area for Madness Manor, eat first at Tambai Yakitori Snackhouse on Felipe Street.

We listed only parties with a confirmed date and venue as of 3 October 2026. Nobody paid to be included.
