Halloween Madrid 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October, so the clubs throw their parties on Friday 30 and Saturday 31, mostly from 23:00 until 06:00. The big daytime and late-night plans are at Parque Warner, the Parque de Atracciones and the Halloween Takeover festival. For an easy Halloween costume for women, go as a black cat: a black outfit, ears and easy Halloween makeup take ten minutes. Below are the club parties with times and prices, the plans with kids, six costumes and three makeup looks.
Updated 29 October 2026: new section with easy Halloween makeup.
When is Halloween Madrid 2026?
Halloween Madrid 2026 is on Saturday 31 October. As a result, the clubs spread the party over two nights, Friday 30 and Saturday 31, and Sunday 1 November is All Saints’ Day, a public holiday.
Therefore, that calendar changes how you plan. First, Saturday tickets sell out first, so buy them this week. Second, Friday is the cheaper night at several venues. Third, the theme parks run their Halloween seasons until 1 and 2 November, not just one night.
Also, one plan you may have read about is not happening. MADHORROR, the horror festival planned at IFEMA for 30 October to 2 November 2026, has been postponed. According to IFEMA’s official statement of 8 October 2026, the first edition moves to 29 October to 1 November 2027. The reason is simple: the space will host the data processing centre for Spain’s general election.
Halloween Madrid 2026 club parties on Friday 30 and Saturday 31
The Halloween Madrid 2026 club parties run on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October. Most start between 23:00 and midnight and end at 06:00, and tickets start at 22 to 50 euros. Also, I checked every time and price on the venue’s own ticket page on 25 October 2026.
However, prices go up as each night fills, so the figures below are the “from” price. Moreover, most clubs ask for ID at the door, and the dress code is a costume or at least something dark.
Friday 30 October
- UniversiParty Halloween at Fabrik. From 22:00 to 06:00, tickets from 25 euros on Disco Madrid. Overall, it is the biggest Friday party, and Fabrik is outside the city, in Humanes, so plan the bus or a shared ride.
- Halloween pub crawl. The Pub Crawl Madrid Experience costs 24.99 euros on Friday. In short, you visit several bars in the centre with a guide and finish in a club.
- Teen party at Joy Eslava. For under-18s, Fiestas Light holds an afternoon Halloween session at Joy Eslava from 17:30 to 22:00.
Saturday 31 October
- Nazca. On Calle de Orense, in AZCA, from 23:45 to 06:00, tickets from 50 euros on Disco Madrid.
- Terminal 55. From 23:30, but all the tickets with two drinks included are sold out on the club’s ticket page.
- B12. Doors at 23:55. The cheaper tickets are sold out and the rest start at 40 euros on the B12 Halloween page.
- Black Star. From 23:30, with the cheaper tickets sold out and the rest from 30 euros on the Black Star Halloween page.
- Bar Daily 76, Chamberí. The cheapest plan: from 23:00, tickets from 22 euros on Bar Daily’s website.
- Saturday pub crawl. The same pub crawl costs 35.99 euros on the 31st.
Finally, Saturday is the night the metro matters. The metro closes at 01:30, so after the party you need a night bus (a “búho”) or a taxi.
Halloween Madrid 2026 parks and festival plans
Beyond the clubs, the big Halloween Madrid 2026 plans are Parque Warner’s Scary Nights, the Halloween Takeover festival on 31 October and the Halloween season at the Parque de Atracciones. Besides, every date below comes from the organiser’s official website, checked on 25 October 2026.
Parque Warner: Halloween Scary Nights
Parque Warner ran its Halloween Scary Nights on 16 and 23 October, from 22:00 to 03:00. However, the last one is on 31 October, from midnight to 05:00, and its tickets are sold out. In addition, entry opens two hours before the start. The park recommends the nights for guests aged 12 and over, with an adult, and one experience is for adults only.
Halloween Takeover at Recinto Iberdrola Music
Next, the Halloween Takeover festival takes over Recinto Iberdrola Music on Saturday 31 October, from 14:00 to 02:00. In addition, the line-up includes Maceo Plex, Kölsch and The Martinez Brothers. For example, on 25 October, tickets cost 45 euros for early access and 58 euros for general admission, plus fees.
Parque de Atracciones de Madrid
The Parque de Atracciones holds its Halloween season from 26 September to 1 November, says the park’s official website. For example, it has haunted passages such as Nosferatu and The Walking Dead Experience. There is also a scare zone called Área 51.

Halloween Madrid 2026 with kids
For Halloween Madrid 2026 with children, the two theme parks are the safest bet. Parque Warner calls its Halloween season “for all audiences”, and the Parque de Atracciones adds a new children’s haunted passage this year.
At Parque Warner, the season runs from 26 September to 2 November. In particular, it includes family parades, Looney Tunes shows and a Day of the Dead show. Meanwhile, the haunted passages and scare zones are for braver visitors, so check before you take small children inside.
At the Parque de Atracciones, the new 2026 children’s passage sits alongside shows with Nickelodeon characters, according to the park’s official website. In short, go early in the day with young kids, and leave the late nights to teenagers and adults.
Easy Halloween Madrid 2026 costumes for women
The easiest Halloween Madrid 2026 costumes for women start with black clothes you already own. Then you add one or two cheap details: ears, a hat, a long coat, horns or makeup. So here are my six, from ten minutes to half an hour.
In fact, each one works for a club, a theme park or a night out in Madrid. Also, each one lets you walk, dance and take the night bus home. Four of them, the cat, the pierrot, the vampire and the devil, are in my Instagram reel, where you can vote for the one I wear on the 31st.
1. Elegant black cat
First, the cat is the quickest easy Halloween costume for women. For example, wear a black knit dress or black jeans with a fitted top. Then add cat ears and a sharp winged liner. For the cover photo I wore mine on Calle de las Huertas, outside a bar with pumpkins. Buy only the ears.
2. Pierrot clown
In short, a pierrot is a clown without the red nose. First, use a white shirt with volume, black trousers and a ruffled collar. Then paint one small black teardrop under the eye. As a result, it looks elegant, and it reads as a costume straight away. Buy only the collar.
3. Minimal black witch
The minimal witch is a long black dress and a wide-brimmed hat. In short, that is all. Moreover, you can add dark plum lipstick if you want more drama. In fact, I wore it on Cava Baja, where the old taverns make any black look feel right. Buy only the hat.
4. Day of the Dead flower makeup, done with respect
Instead, keep it simple, without a full Catrina skull. First, wear a black dress and a crown of red and orange flowers. Then add soft dark shading around the eyes. Also, the Day of the Dead is a real Mexican celebration, so I avoid turning it into a joke.
5. Vampire in a long coat
The vampire needs a long dark coat, ideally with a red lining. Next, wear a black turtleneck and trousers. Then finish with a deep red lip. As a bonus, the coat keeps you warm, because Madrid nights in late October can feel cold.
6. Red velvet devil for the club
Finally, the devil is the costume for dancing. Wear a red velvet corset top or dress, add a black lace skirt or a long open skirt over it, and fishnet tights. Then add small black horns, a black choker and lace gloves. It is the one I dance in at the end of my reel. Buy only the horns.
Easy Halloween Makeup for Halloween Madrid 2026: 3 Looks in 10 Minutes
Easy Halloween makeup needs only a black eyeliner pencil, a lipstick and a steady hand. A cat, a minimal witch and a flower face each take 10 to 15 minutes, and they all work with clothes you already own.
First, prepare the skin. Clean your face, add moisturizer and wait a minute. Then choose one of these looks:
- Elegant cat (about 8 minutes): draw a long wing on each eye. Then add a small triangle on the nose tip and three thin whiskers on each cheek with the same pencil. Finish with a dark lip.
- Minimal witch (about 10 minutes): blend a smoky black or plum shadow around the eyes. Add sharp brows and a dark purple or black lip. Leave the rest of the face clean.
- Day of the Dead flowers (about 15 minutes): draw a few flowers and leaves on one side of the face. Use a white base and colored pencils. This look comes from a Mexican tradition, so treat it as a tribute and not as a costume joke.
Safety matters as much as style. According to the FDA guide to novelty makeup, you should test a product on your arm for a couple of days before using it on your face. In addition, check that the colors are approved for cosmetic use, and keep any color away from your eyes unless it is cleared for that area. Finally, remove everything before bed.
Easy Halloween makeup also works with the no-costume outfits below. For example, a black dress with a dark lip is already a Halloween Madrid 2026 look.
What to wear to a Halloween Madrid 2026 party without a costume
If you skip the costume for a Halloween Madrid 2026 party, wear all black and add one orange or deep red detail. That way, you join the theme without dressing up, and the outfit still works on any other night.
- Black velvet. A velvet dress or blazer feels festive without trying too hard.
- One colour detail. An orange bag, a red lip or rust earrings.
- Comfortable shoes. Block heels or boots, because Saturday queues are long.

My Halloween Madrid 2026 checklist
Before Halloween Madrid 2026, buy the club ticket this week, plan your way home and pick a costume you can wear for six hours. In addition, check the ticket page again on the day, because times and prices can change.
- Buy this week. Saturday nights sell out first, and prices rise as they fill.
- Plan the way home. Club parties end at 06:00, long after the metro closes.
- Test the costume. Wear it for an hour at home first.
- Bring a layer. A coat over the costume saves the queue.
