Halloween activities in Logan 2024

There’s nothing quite as spooky spectacular as Halloween in the City of Logan. These Halloween events bring in locals and visitors from Brisbane and beyond, so put on your best costumes and get the little goblins, ghouls and fairies ready for trick or treating, face painting, magical Halloween displays and more.

If you’re in for a real scare, don’t miss the terrifying maze that’s about to open as the season’s monsters descend upon the city.

For those who aren’t keen on Halloween, there are also alternative events that are just as fun without the scare, along with suggestions if you want to spend Halloween at home.

26 October

• Bring your little monsters to dance up a storm at the kids Halloween costume party hosted by Springwood’s Lollipops Playland.
• Explore a range of frighteningly fun collectibles with a cup of coffee and a snag at the Halloween spectacular swap meet.
• The Halloween Spooktacular is one of the best Halloween events in the area, with food and dessert trucks, on-site bar and 3 separate mazes (for kids, all-ages and an optional super-scary). They also have super special Family Fright Fest Day dates with additional festivities on other dates.
• Fly on down to Doug Larsen Park for a family-friendly Batty Halloween in the Park, where everyone can enjoy crafty outdoor activities, meet a flying fox, show off your style in a costume parade and chomp on a sausage.
