The Best Halloween Parties in
NEW YORK CITY

NYC Halloween parties run from the weekend before Halloween through Sunday, November 1. For 2026, Halloween falls on a Saturday, making October 31 the peak night, with Thursday, October 29 the kickoff night of this year's Halloween weekend parties.

Ticket prices depend on the venue, date and ticket tier. NYC Halloween parties sell out, some faster than others, and prices rise as Halloween gets closer or as an event sells out, whichever comes first, so buying early gets the best price. Tables and bottle service can be reserved by calling 646.205.7600 or emailing info@nychalloweenparties.com.

Costumes are encouraged but not required at NYC Halloween parties, and venues still require nightclub-appropriate attire. Avoid flip-flops, athletic wear, oversized props, and anything that could create safety issues at the door. When in doubt, dress stylish and costume ready.

Every event is either 21+ or 18+, and there are no all-ages events. Most are 21+, and a valid government-issued photo ID is required for entry, no exceptions. 18+ Halloween parties are marked on their event pages.

Yes. Groups of 10 or more may receive either a group discount or complimentary admission bundled in, depending on the event. Call 646.205.7600 or email info@nychalloweenparties.com before booking so we can set it up.

Tickets are non-refundable, even if the weather is not ideal, but they are transferable to another person. If an event is canceled, tickets are refunded to the original payment method within 5–7 business days, excluding processing fees. We also will not refund tickets if someone is a minor or ID is not made available to the venue's security.
