Have you boo-ked your Halloween activities yet? Whether you’re big or small, there are plenty of tricks and treats to be found in Hong Kong this spooky season. From theme park parties to workshops – and even events for your pooches, here’s a selection of what’s on offer this Halloween!
Let’s Get Wicked Again at Hong Kong Disneyland
After a pesky two-year absence, Halloween is once again ramping up at Hong Kong Disneyland – or, as the park itself puts it, “the forces of evil have returned to unleash their wicked ways!” Sounds positively ghoulish! Join the fun (and scares), along with iconic villains from classic Disney stories, with street parties, meet-and-greets, party zones and a musical show, “Let’s Get Wicked”. Also, look out for a special rate on combined Halloween and Christmas tickets.

Ocean Park Halloween Fest
Walk through the giant pumpkin arch at Ocean Park and the fun begins! This year’s Halloween celebrations (“New Normal, New Hallow!”) include photo ops with an array of creatures and ghouls, mini games to play, shows and performances. There are also three interactive experiences for those who are brave enough: Survivor of the Undead, Forbidden Rainforest Treasure Hunt and The Supernatural Ghost Tour. Find the full schedule of dates and ticketing info on the website.

Doggy Halloween at Stazione Novella
Soho wine bar Stazione Novella is pampering the pooches this year, with the return of its annual Doggy Halloween event. Find a fab costume for your furry friend (you can’t go wrong with an Ewok…) and you’ll enjoy a coffee or Aperol Spritz on the house. Plus, all four-legged participants receive a house-made puppy treat. There’s a prize for best-dressed dog too. (Tag your photos with #StazzyPooch!)

Halloween Workshops @PMQ
Keen to get crafting for Halloween? At PMQ, you can sign up for a Festive Pumpkin Lantern Pop-up Workshop with local brand Man Made Chan Pei. Over the course of an hour and a half, you’ll learn to make a 3D paper art pumpkin lantern from prepared laser-cut materials, so you can celebrate Halloween with a light-up lantern of a different kind. Choose your favourite characters from Halloween paper sets to pumpkin faces. Ideal for adults and children aged eight and above.
Various dates and times in October. See the full list of workshops here.

Brave the Haunted Harbour…
How about Halloween aboard Aqua Luna, one of the last red-sail Chinese junk boats in Hong Kong? On 30 and 31 October, the boat will transform into a “floating ship of terrors” for a night like no other. With cruises departing on the hour from 5.30pm from Central, guests will get a Hocus Pocus cocktail once on board, and enjoy spooky tunes as they sail the dark waters of Victoria Harbour. Tickets are HK$400 including a cocktail; add $100 for free-flow drinks including prosecco, house wine, beer, soft drinks and juices. Children ride for $300 including a Monster Mash mocktail.
