1. W Hotel Halloween Party
Close your eyes and picture it. You walk into a dark ballroom illuminated only by blacklights. Your senses are overtaken as your ears fill with EDM, House, and Top 40 music played by some of the industry’s best DJs.
You bump into Cruella De Vil and Elton John at the same time. Every attendee is wearing their most creative costumes. What is this magical place? It can only be the W Hotel San Francisco’s Halloween Party.
Three separate rooms make up one of the Bay’s most popular Halloween parties. Party the night away (or at least until 2 am) with live music, performances, and flowing alcohol.
2. Pub Crawl Experience
If you want a more low-key Halloween night, a pub crawl checks the box. Enjoy BOO-zy specials like $4 drafts and spooky-themed shots.
San Francisco’s elite bars are the place to be for all-night drink specials and live music. Your ticket covers all entry fees. Over 50% of adults are dressing up for Halloween so dare to wear your best costume and get ready to experience a night of frightful fun.
If the libations get you feeling frisky, snag a VIP ticket. There’s going to be an after-party that’ll get you in the spooky season mood.
3. Black Pearl Halloween Cruise
Sail the night away aboard the Black Pearl! This top-selling Bay cruise blows all the rest out of the water. See what we did there?
The Black Pearl Halloween Cruise has three decks filled with live music, food, drinks, and dancing. For 3 hours, experience 360-degree views of the San Francisco skyline while you party the night away.
Costumes aren’t required, but you’ll be missing out if you don’t don a haunting ensemble. It’s your one night of the year to channel your alter ego – go all out!
Choose a VIP experience for the best seat and early boarding. Reserve your table at one of the hottest Halloween parties in the Bay.
4. Winchester Mystery House
Celebrate Halloween by visiting one of the best haunted attractions in the country. The terrifying Winchester Mystery House is back for the first time in two years.
Wander through the halls of Winchester house. Your haunt is set in 1949 amid Madame Nightshade’s traveling carnival. You’ll experience supernatural spirits in one of the scariest haunted houses you’ve ever seen.
Stay for an outdoor performance, if you dare. There’s even a “Spookeasy” waiting for you to enjoy devilish cocktails.
If you survive your tour through Winchester House, treat yourself to a bite to eat. Or, participate in one of the outdoor games on site.
Free Halloween Events
There are plenty of free Halloween events around the city! Local bars and restaurants will offer specials throughout the weekend.
Check out karaoke, themed cocktail hours, and spooky-themed trivia. If the bar scene isn’t your vibe, venture to a farmer’s market for pumpkin picking.
