October 15, 2023It’s spooky season! We’ve gathered a list of some frightfully fun Halloween events happening here in Baltimore this October. Grab your ghouls and enjoy a fun night out, a festive brunch, or another one of these great local events.
Lift Your Spirits with a Halloween Party

Barcocina in Fells Point is hosting a Halloween open bar on Saturday, October 28th from 10pm until midnight, featuring music by DJ Mic_L. A $40 ticket gets you entry to the party and access to their open bar. But, if anyone in your crew doesn’t want to partake, general admission is free. Festive attire is encouraged!
Or, check out the Halloween Divas Dance Party at the Maryland Science Center on Saturday. From the rooftop dance party to DJ sets in the planetarium, this event is a one-of-a-kind Baltimore classic.
You can also spend Saturday night on a “boo-ze” cruise with Black Pearl Yacht Party Cruise. The cruise has 3 decks, 2 live DJs, and 1 amazing harbor view — all you need to bring is your best costume.
If your vibe is more jungle than sea, check out the Baltimore Zoo’s Halloween party, running from 10am-4pm on the 28th and 29th. With games, contests, and of course cute zoo animals, there’s something for everyone at the Zoo Boo.
