Things are about to get weird, wicked and wildly creative right on our doorstep 🕷️✨
Auckland’s legendary Halloween street party, Freak Out, takes over Karangahape Road this Saturday 31 October – and nobody does Halloween quite like K’ Road.
From creepy art projections and market stalls to the iconic Hallowen Dog Parade judged by Chris Parker and Suzanne Paul, the street will be buzzing with colour and energy from day to night.
The Programme:
🐾 4:30pm–6:30pm: Family and fur-baby fun with trick-or-treating, kids’ pop-up raves and the fiercely contested dog costume parade.
🌙 6:30pm–late: The sun sets, the beats drop and the after-dark antics take over with DJs, graveyard tours and street-wide projections.
👑 8:00pm–8:30pm: The Adults’ Costume Competition, judged by Clown Called Jerry. Bring your absolute A-game – Abstract Hotel is sponsoring a prize for the standout look of the night!
When you’ve danced with the ghouls, showed off your costume and had your fill of late-night mischief, leave the chaos behind. Retreat just off the main strip to the comfort of Abstract Hotel, where a plush bed, nightcap and zero ghosts await!
