Halloween in the City Family Events

halloween_in_the_city


A Fancy Dress Challenge, Monster Music Festival, Giant MCR Monster trail and lots more!

Free family-friendly event Halloween in the City is back and guaranteed to lift your spirits, featuring monsters around every corner and a fa-boo-lous line-up of entertainment and activities on Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 October.

Families are encouraged to come dressed up in their coolest costumes to take part in the official Halloween in the City Fancy Dress Challenge and unlock VIP experiences, rewards and prizes throughout the weekend. Visitors in costume will be able to claim a free wristband and choose to become part of either Team Trick or Team Treat. Both teams will be competing to be named the spookiest team, with lots of opportunities to win points for your team during the weekend including dance-offs, costume catwalks, games, screaming competitions and more.

New for this year is the Monsters Rock! Music Festival, featuring monster bands, scary DJs, a glow in the dark dance party, Halloween vogue balls and a pumpkin patch chill out zone, spanning the city’s St Ann’s Square, Market Street and Exchange Square. There’s also a Monsters Rock Procession courtesy of Walk the Plank, the creative minds behind the Manchester Day Parade, featuring giant puppet monsters, stilt walkers and a live band, a family-friendly freakshow Carnival Zone with roaming circus acts and freaky fun rides and Scare Skate (entry fees apply) at Manchester’s outdoor ice rink in Cathedral Gardens featuring spooky music and lighting and a band of ghoulish skating monsters joining skaters.

Those unable to come dressed up don’t need to miss out with free Halloween masks and monstrous crafting available at points throughout the festival area.

The MCR Monsters will also be back for 2022 from Tuesday 25 – Monday 31 October. Created by artists Filthy Luker and Pedro Estrellas, a few familiar faces will be back in the city, alongside new monsters commissioned especially for this year’s festivities. In addition to those located on rooftops at Manchester Arndale, Selfridges, The Royal Exchange Manchester, and Kampus, visitors can get up close and personal and grab a selfie (if they dare) with monsters located in St Ann’s Square, Exchange Square and New Cathedral Street from Friday 28th – Sunday 30th October.
