Halloween in St. Petersburg 2026: Where to Go for a Party, with Kids or on a Quest

Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday, October 31 — a good excuse to spend the evening getting properly spooked. St. Petersburg has its usual full spread this year: loud 18+ club parties, kids' quests with pumpkin-carving workshops, an atmospheric organ concert under a planetarium dome. We rounded up a mix of places and formats — with one caveat: some venues haven't published their late-October programme yet, so check dates, session times and prices through the links below before you go.

👻 Parties for adults

This year's biggest party is ЖМУРКИ (Blind Man's Buff) at Aurora Concert Hall (Pirogovskaya Embankment, 5/2): October 31 at 23:55, 18+, built around the childhood game of blind man's buff twisted into a horror show with DJs and a giant screen. Tickets are on Timepad and through the organizer; a discounted VIP ticket from 600 ₽ is capped at 300 spots and includes a separate entrance, coat check and bar — full details in the party's announcement.

Two more clubs throw a Halloween party every year, though neither had announced an exact 2026 date at publication time: Sound on Kozhevennaya Liniya, 40 (past editions featured photo zones, face paint and a costume contest) and Money Honey on Sadovaya, 28/30 (its 2025 edition was "Halloween, Russian style" with cover bands). Watch their community pages — announcements usually land one to two weeks out.

🎃 With kids and the whole family

The clearest pick for a family outing is the "Immersive Halloween" quest at the Museum of Magic, also known as the Castle on Nevsky (Nevsky Prospekt, 74–76): a quest game with a pumpkin-lantern carving workshop that runs several sessions a day from October 25 through 31, priced 1,300–2,000 ₽ — daytime sessions are cheaper than evening ones.

The other option is the annual "Festival of Scary Tales" at Banana Park (Industrialny Prospekt, 24), all ages: last year it ran October 31 at 17:00, tickets from 1,100 ₽. The venue hasn't published its 2026 programme yet — check the date and price on its site closer to month's end.

🔮 Atmospheric and unusual

If you're after mood rather than a party, try "Organ in the Planetarium: Halloween" at Planetarium No. 1 on Obvodny Canal Embankment, 74: organ music under a dome of stars, on October 30 at 21:00 and October 31 at 22:30, 18+. Expect roughly 2,500–3,500 ₽, though it's worth double-checking before you buy.

🍸 Restaurants and escape rooms

Restaurant Moremi on Primorsky Prospekt, 72, has hosted a Halloween Rave with DJs and face paint at the door in past years — the venue hasn't named a 2026 date yet. If you'd rather solve a room than dance in one, escape-room chains like Claustrophobia typically roll out special Halloween scenarios; for a full rundown of the city's escape rooms and immersive shows, see our guide to St Petersburg escape rooms.

📌 In short

✅ Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday, October 31, and the city has a full programme across every format.

✅ The biggest 18+ party is ЖМУРКИ at Aurora Concert Hall, VIP from 600 ₽, tickets on Timepad.

✅ With kids: "Immersive Halloween" at the Museum of Magic on Nevsky, October 25–31, from 1,300 ₽.

✅ For atmosphere without a crowd: the organ concert at Planetarium No. 1, October 30 and 31.

✅ Clubs Sound and Money Honey, restaurant Moremi, and escape-room chains traditionally run their own Halloween — check their community pages for exact 2026 dates closer to the end of October.

✅ Prices and session times shift — confirm with the venue's own site or group before you head out.

If you'd rather spend the whole day in the spirit of it, start with the family format in the afternoon and save the club or restaurant for the evening — by the last week of October, St. Petersburg usually has both running at once. The main thing is not to lock in every detail too early: several venues only announce exact times and prices in mid-month.
