MUSIC EVENTS
Read: Denver Is Turning Up the Volume This Halloween Weekend

deadmau5
Start Halloween weekend between the rocks. deadmau5’s progressive electronic sound makes room for patient builds, winding melodies, and the kind of release that rewards settling into a full set. The Friday bill also lists VOWWS, Josh Freese, Danny Lohner and PENULTIMATE, giving this outdoor outing a suitably dark edge.
Matroda, Biscits, Willbeaux and Housewife
If Friday’s plan begins and ends on the dance floor, Matroda belongs on the list. The Croatian producer’s bass-heavy house sound supplies a different kind of Halloween momentum: punchy grooves, clipped vocals, and plenty of low end. Biscits, Willbeaux and Housewife round out a bill that gives house fans a reason to arrive early and stay moving.

itchy-O’s Hallowmass
For a Halloween experience rooted in Denver’s own creative community, make time for Hallowmass. itchy-O’s 2026 presentation, Mayat Ōm: Brief Creatures, combines its large-scale musical performance with an environment centered on memory, grief, and celebration. Stampede Singers, a Lakota drum group, opens both nights.
Julia Jacklin and Jordan Patterson
Halloween doesn’t have to mean maximum volume. Julia Jacklin’s emotionally direct songwriting and unhurried delivery offer a different way to spend the night: listening closely, letting a lyric land, and hearing a room fall quiet around a voice. Jordan Patterson opens the Englewood date.

Mon Laferte and Silvana Estrada
Two distinctive voices make the Paramount a Sunday destination. Mon Laferte’s theatrical delivery and stylistic range pair with Silvana Estrada’s intimate, expressive songwriting for a bill that deserves your full attention.
FOOD EVENTS

The Haunting at Steuben’s
Welcome to The Haunting, a Halloween cocktail pop-up from the team behind Miracle and Sippin’ Santa. Inspired by neighborhood haunted houses, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, late-night horror movies, and all the nostalgia of Halloween night, The Haunting is where spooky season gets a little strange.
The Last Dance
Step inside a party that never ended. The Last Dance brings a haunted ballroom to life through immersive décor, theatrical cocktails, music and late-night revelry, all unfolding in a world suspended between the living and the dead.

Nightmare on Larimer Street
Show up in costume, grab a spot on the patio, and enjoy what might be the best people-watching on Larimer all year. The drink to order is the Hocus Pocus: brought back from the dead, it’s Midori, Pueblo Viejo Blanco, lime, simple syrup, and sparkling water over ice, finished with a rock candy stick that doubles as a wand.
Grand Halloween Breakfast Buffet
Celebrate Halloween with a festive morning for the whole family at Courier. Enjoy the breakfast buffet, featuring a made-to-order omelet station, eggs, fresh waffles, and all your breakfast favorites. Kids and grown-ups can enjoy crafts and a Halloween dessert station. Parents can enjoy bottomless mimosas with a seasonal apple cider option.
