The much-loved Redcliffe Markets is hosting its annual Festival of Frights on Saturday, 25 October, from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, promising an evening that’s equal parts spooky and spectacular.
The twilight celebration has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated Halloween events, drawing families, foodies, and costume-lovers alike. This year, the markets are set to brim with more than 200 stalls, ranging from handmade Halloween trinkets to sweet treats and gourmet street eats from across South-East Queensland.
While the stalls offer plenty to browse, buy and taste, it’s the atmosphere that truly makes the event memorable. Live entertainment will fill the night air, stilt walkers and whimsical fairies will roam the foreshore, and children can join in themed activities including a scavenger hunt and the always-popular Best Dressed Competition.
From little vampires and witches to pirates and ghouls, locals are encouraged to bring their creative costumes and show off their frightful fashion.
Market organisers say the Festival of Frights is more than just a shopping experience. It’s designed to create a space where families can celebrate Halloween together in a safe, inclusive and vibrant environment. The combination of seaside ambience, delicious food, and community spirit has cemented the festival as a highlight of the Redcliffe cultural calendar.
Entry is free, with visitors encouraged to register for a chance to win a gourmet hamper. Organisers recommend planning ahead—whether that means coordinating a group costume or simply bringing an appetite for the region’s best street food.
