Last updated: 13 October 2026. We add new listings as venues confirm them.

When Is Halloween 2026 in Dubai?

Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October.

Halloween Events in Dubai for Kids and Families

From candy trails to costume runs, here’s where to take the little monsters. For year round ideas, our guide to things to do in Dubai with kids has plenty more.

Halloween at LEGOLAND Dubai

Halloween 2026 in Dubai

LEGOLAND goes full Brick or Treat this season. Every child gets a Monster Party activity card on arrival, then it’s a HARIBO candy trail through Factory Street and MINILAND, a ghost hunt for a secret code word, pumpkin building at Scarecrow’s Pumpkin Patch, LEGO Monster meet and greets and a 4D monster chase. It all wraps up with a monster dance party. It’s spooky in the cute sense, not the nightmares sense, which makes it the safest bet for under 10s. More on the new season in our LEGOLAND Dubai guide.

LEGOLAND Dubai Resort
Theme park built for kids aged 2 to 12, with Halloween activities included in the day ticket
Area: Dubai Parks and Resorts, Sheikh Zayed Road

Map: Open in Google Maps
Staying over? LEGOLAND Hotel adds a pumpkin hunt, Mini Monster Zumba and a PJ party.

Fright Nights at MOTIONGATE Dubai

This is the one for teenagers and adults who actually want to be scared. Fright Nights is back for its ninth edition with two new scare mazes built around Lionsgate horror titles: SAW: Trial by Terror and The Strangers: Trapped. Expect scare actors, fog and a lot of screaming from people who said they’d be fine.

Frightober at Ski Dubai

Ski Dubai turns part of the slope into a Snowy Ghost Town for Halloween. The Frightober pass comes with a trick or treat pouch, a spooky hot chocolate, fleece gloves and a locker, so it’s an easy two hours out of the heat. Note the age rule: guests must be 7 or older to enter the village. Our Ski Dubai guide covers the rest of the season.

Ski Dubai
Indoor snow park with a Halloween ghost town

WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Match the event to the age, not the hype. LEGOLAND is built for under 10s, Ski Dubai’s ghost town starts at 7 and MOTIONGATE’s scare mazes are firmly teen territory. Go on a weekday if you can, because Halloween weekend queues at Dubai Parks are no joke.

Trick or Treating in Dubai: Where and How

Yes, kids do trick or treat in Dubai, but it happens street by street rather than city wide. Villa communities such as Arabian Ranches, The Springs and The Green Community are long-standing favourites, and many apartment towers run building-only trails organised through residents’ groups.

  • Check your community’s WhatsApp or residents’ portal in the week before. That’s where trails get announced.
  • Only knock where there’s a sign: a carved pumpkin, decorations or a bowl by the door usually means you’re welcome.
  • Go early. Most trails run from around 5:30pm to 8pm.
  • If your community doesn’t do it, the mall and theme park candy trails above are the easy fallback.

Halloween Costume Rules in Dubai

Halloween costumes are fine in Dubai, but a little common sense goes a long way, especially in public spaces like malls and the Metro.

  • Keep full face masks for the venue. Put them on when you arrive, not on the way.
  • Skip replica weapons, including on public transport. Several venues ban sharp objects even as costume props.
  • Avoid police, military or official uniforms.
  • Respect public decency rules in malls and on the street. Save the more daring outfits for the party itself.
  • Don’t dress in traditional or religious attire as a costume. Some venues refuse entry for it.

Where to Buy Halloween Costumes in Dubai

Party Zone has the biggest range, with branches across Dubai including The Dubai Mall. DAISO is the budget pick for accessories, make-up and decorations. For last-minute buys, Amazon.ae and noon both do next-day delivery on most costumes, so you’ve got until about Thursday 29 October before it gets stressful.

Halloween in Dubai: FAQs

When is Halloween 2026 in Dubai?

Halloween 2026 is on Saturday 31 October. Most adult parties run on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, while family brunches and kids’ events are mainly on the Saturday.

Can kids go trick or treating in Dubai?

Yes. Trick or treating happens in many villa communities and some apartment towers, usually from around 5:30pm to 8pm on 31 October. Check your community’s residents’ group for organised trails, and only knock on doors with Halloween decorations.

What are the best Halloween events in Dubai for kids?

LEGOLAND Dubai’s Brick or Treat season is the best pick for under 10s, and it’s included in the day ticket. Gogo Village, Osteria Mario’s pizza classes and the Jumeirah Golf Estates Hauntfest are good options too.

Is MOTIONGATE Fright Nights suitable for children?

Fright Nights is designed to scare, with horror mazes based on SAW and The Strangers, so it’s best for teenagers and adults. Families with younger children are better off at LEGOLAND next door.

Is it legal to wear a Halloween costume in Dubai?

Yes, Halloween costumes are fine in Dubai as long as they’re not offensive. Keep full face masks and replica weapons for the venue, avoid police or military uniforms and stick to modest outfits in public places.

Where are the best Halloween parties in Dubai in 2026?

ZEA’s haunted house in DIFC, the Spooktacular on the QE2 and the AMARU Masquerade at Madinat Jumeirah are three of the standout adult events this year. For a brunch, McGettigan’s JLT and Chalco’s Cantina both have themed packages.

Are there free Halloween events in Dubai?

Stomping Grounds in Jumeirah 1 has a free family and pet costume day on 31 October. Community trick or treat trails are free too, and the City Walk Halloween run costs just AED 20 for under 12s.
