Brisbane Fright Market

Overview

Since kicking off its weekly Friday evening event at the beginning of the year, Brisbane Night Markets has been jumping at any excuse to throw a party, including winter and mango season. Come the end of October, the folks behind the scenes really don't need to think too hard — 'tis the time to don spooky costumes and carve pumpkins, after all.

The Halloween-themed Brisbane Fright Market will also feature a haunted house, face painting and a trick-or-treat trail, plus prizes for the best-dressed. This frightful event isn't just for kids either. The adult with the best costume will also win something terrifying (well, their prize mightn't actually be horrifying, but they won't go home empty-handed), and all adult attendees will be able to knock back plenty of wicked cocktails.

Live bands are also part of the fun, so here's hoping that they play 'Monster Mash' more than a couple of times.

Brisbane Fright Market takes place not once, but twice — from 4pm on October 25 and November 1. As always, there'll be around 40 street food vendors onsite, too, probably serving suitably themed bites to eat.
