Ghost Festival

The Rocks

Sydney's historic Rocks precinct will transform into a haunted playground, with Halloween food and drinks, themed bars, live music and DJs, markets, roaming performers and larger-than-life installations set against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour. Explore familiar streets and laneways as giant tentacles spill from buildings, six-metre spiders take over the laneways, and the precinct comes alive with lights, colour and Halloween installations. Whether bringing the family, meeting friends for drinks, dressing up or simply looking for something different to do this Halloween, Ghost Festival offers nights to experience The Rocks in a whole new way. The street festival and live street entertainment are free to enjoy, with selected experiences and offerings available separately. The festival footprint expands further, with George Street and the Overseas Passenger Terminal closing to traffic, creating even more space for festival-goers to explore. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the scares, and rediscover one of Sydney's most familiar places after dark.
