Halloween Events in Orlando, FL!

Published: June 01 2023
Category: Holidays

There’s a buzz in Orlando and we have Halloween to thank for it! There are so many Halloween events, trick-or-treating spots, haunted houses, drive-thru experiences and more happening throughout the city that you’ll definitely want to plan a family staycation to relax and experience all of the fun!

After all that we’ve gone through this year, locals and avid visitors weren’t sure what was in store for the holiday season in Orlando, FL. Thankfully, through phased re-openings and carefully planned events, we are so glad to see that we will have some great things to look forward to this fall and into early winter. Of course, health and safety concerns are in the forefront of every event, so you can expect to wear approved facial coverings (no Halloween masks) at most events, experience some delays in queue lines at the Theme Parks, and maintain social distancing at all times. Be sure to check all of the safety guidelines for each event to ensure you are well prepared for your day!
