Bogota is turning Halloween into a multi-day affair this year, with a packed schedule running from October 30 into early November. Colombia's capital has something on the calendar whether you want to be terrified, dance until late, or keep the kids entertained without spending a peso.
For the scare-seekers, the amusement parks are the anchor. Salitre Magico brings back its Festival del Terror for an 11th year, with haunted houses, scare zones and live shows. Mundo Aventura runs its own horror add-on, Terror al Parque, while BLOC Bosa in the south of the city hosts Escape del Terror. Check age restrictions and ticket availability before heading out — these events vary widely in format.
The music lineup is where Halloween 2026 gets serious. On October 31, El Campin Stadium stages Awooween headlined by Colombian reggaeton star Ryan Castro — general admission has already sold out, so only special-experience tickets may remain. The Jalogüin party series spreads across two nights and two venues: October 30 at Andres Carne de Res in Chia with Puerto Rican artist Ñejo, then October 31 at Andres D.C. in Bogota with Alejandro Villalobos.
Electronic and alternative fans get a full weekend too. Six Sex plays Lourdes Music Hall on October 30, the Misterio International Halloween Festival runs October 30 to November 3 at El Mozo Club, and Wasteland re: BIRTH lands at Kaputt Club on November 1 — priced at 50,000 Colombian pesos per day or 90,000 for a three-day pass. Feeling nostalgic instead? Fiesta Terror de los 90s hits BLOC Plaza de las Americas on October 30 and 31, mixing Halloween with Nineties music and pop culture.
Not everything is a party. Nighttime walking tours through the colonial streets of La Candelaria dig into local legends and ghost stories tied to the historic centre, a solid option if you'd rather hear Bogota's dark side than scream through it. The Bogota Philharmonic Orchestra performs a Halloween-themed concert at Teatro Fabio Lozano, and Avenida Chile shopping mall hosts costume, cosplay, anime, K-pop and gaming events across October 30 and 31.
Families and anyone on a budget are well covered. El Castillo de las Artes runs La Toma Dulce, a free community event starting at 3 p.m. on October 30. CEFE Chapinero offers free activities plus a screening of the animated film Ponyo, and the Bogota Botanical Garden has its own family programming — worth confirming times and whether reservations are needed before you go.
Travellers in Bogota around Halloween get an unusually complete seasonal programme: big-name concerts, park-based horror experiences, cultural tours and genuinely free activities for kids, all within one city and one long weekend. Just verify dates, entry conditions and remaining tickets through official channels — a few events are already close to capacity.
