Looking for some of the hottest Halloween events in Vancouver this weekend? Well, we’ve done the ghostly Googling and spooky searching, and found a gaggle of Halloween celebrations taking over Gastown.
Friday, October 28th
Science World After Dark
Get in the Hallow-day spirit by dressing up in your finest costume and heading over to Science World to help solve a murder mystery of epic proportions. (Adult-only event.)
Abitibi Vancouver Halloween Boat Cruise
Sail away decked out in ghoulish garb for this year’s Halloween Boat Cruise. Top DJs, apps, cash bar, costume contest and more are part and parcel of this ghostly event.
Halloween Madness at the Railway Club
A packed night with Los Furios, Giraffe Aftermath, The Elixxxirs and Mo Jumbo. Dress up and dance at this alterna party at The Railway Club.
Halloween Thrilla at Gossip
The annual event is back and promises a re-enactment of that ever-so-famous MJ vid, roaming and circus performers, and some of Gastown’s hottest DJs.
Saturday, October 29th
5th Annual Halloween Costume Ball
The Telus World of Science is the scene for the fifth Halloween Costume Ball, a twisted night of manic mayhem on two levels with DJs to suit every taste.
Harajuku Halloween at Electric Owl
Garb-up Harajuku style and hit up Electric Owl Social Club for one of the most unique Halloween events of the season.
80s Pop Icons Halloween
Library Square Public House is the gnarliest spot on the 29th for the 80s Pop Icons Halloween Bash. Will you dress as the Material Girl, King of Pop, or that shameful lip-synching duo?
Heroes vs Villains, Part I
Lamplighter Public House hosts Part I of this 2-part party (second instalment on Halloween night). Drink specials, ‘super’ costumes, and more are sure to abound.
Halloween Howler 7 at Jewel Ballroom
This instalment of the Halloween Howler sees Jewel Ballroom pulling out all the stops for an evening in celebration of the most devilish jour d’annee.
Fresh Air Cinema Halloween Drive-in
Looking for something a little less, shall we say, intense this Halloween weekend? (We get it, you need to pace yourself.) Head on out for a showing of that classic, Beetlejuice, at this special Fresh Air Cinema event.
Cult Classics Halloween
Dress as your favourite Cult Classic movie character and head over to another Donnelly Group celebration, this time at Cinema Public House.
Sunday, October 30th
Bone Thugs n’ Harmony at Fortune Sound Club
Alright, aside from the semi-eery reference in their name, Bone Thugs n’ Harmony have little to do with Halloween, but they’re one of the most notable harmonic groups around, having sampled on songs for artists like Mariah Carey.
Halloween at the Waldorf Hotel
The Waldorf Hotel’s 4-day Halloween extravaganza sees Maria in the Shower on Sunday night, with a 16-storey drop of doom, haunted hotel rooms, and more.
Monday, October 31st
Superheroes Halloween at Mirage
Iron Man, Captain America (or Canuck, we suppose), Spiderman, and the like will be out in full force at this themed Halloween celebration at Mirage Nightclub. (Cover is only $5.)
Heroes vs Villains, Part II
Part II of the Lamplighter’s Halloween party will have DJ Brendan Butter spinning beats, an alternative to Mirage’s similarly themed event.
Dead Disney Halloween
Ever heard of a Dead Disney Halloween? Neither have we, probably because this is the first year it has been invented. In any case, head out to The Cellar if you want to see what massacred Mickey is all about.
Horrorvision Halloween
Venue Nightclub presents Horrorvision with DJs Dre Morel and Vendisco and drink specials all night.
