When is Halloween weekend 2026 in Miami?
Halloween is Saturday, October 31, 2026. Most of the big parties land on Saturday night, and many nightlife events, bar crawls and festivals start on Friday, October 30. Miami's haunted attractions wrap up their seasons on Sunday, November 1, so this is the final weekend to see them.
Sunday also brings Día de los Muertos events, a Miami Dolphins home game and the last day of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. That means traffic, parking and rideshare demand will be heavy all weekend.
