Halloween in Portland lands on a Saturday in 2026, which means a full weekend of it, plus a week of warm-up nights before. If you're past the trick-or-treat years and want something better than a bowl of fun-size bars by the door, this guide is for you.
We pulled together the best adult-friendly Portland Halloween events: haunted houses, ghost tours, horror movies and 21+ parties happening around town through October 31. Dates and prices come from organizer listings and local press as of mid-October. Haunts sell out and prices climb closer to the date, so book ahead and double-check before you head out.
Portland Haunted Houses: The Fear PDX and ScareGrounds
The Fear PDX (12219 NE Glisan St) is the closest big haunt to our NE Columbia Blvd shop, out on Portland's east side. It's indoor haunted houses plus outdoor scare zones, with covered lines for the rain. Remaining nights run most of the rest of October, including Oct 30 and 31, and it keeps going into early November. Tickets run about $33 to $40 depending on the night, and it's not recommended for anyone under 14.
ScareGrounds PDX sets up at Oaks Amusement Park in Sellwood, Thursday through Sunday nights through Nov 1. Hours are 7–10pm, stretching to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are online only, start around $25–$33, and go up as the night gets closer. Parking is $4.
Portland Ghost Tours and a Cemetery Walk
Portland's history is weird in all the right ways, and a few tours lean into it.
Slabtown Tours: A Night with Ghosts meets at NW 21st and NW Pettygrove, with tours at 5pm, 7:30pm and 10pm almost daily through October. It's $32, taxes and fees included, for ages 12 and up.
BeerQuest's Haunted Pub Tour starts outside Kells Irish Pub (112 SW 2nd Ave) on Friday and Saturday nights at 7pm. Expect about two and a half hours of downtown ghost stories. The Halloween night tour goes fast.
For something quieter, the Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery host Death at Dusk on Saturday, Oct 31, from 3 to 6pm. Hour-long tours of one of Portland's oldest cemeteries (649 SE 26th Ave) start on the hour. Tickets are advance-only, no walk-ups.
Halloween Shows in North and Northeast Portland
You don't have to cross the river for a good Halloween show. A few of the best are a short hop from our shop (more on the neighborhood in our guide to North Portland near PDX).
Fright Night: A Halloween Circus takes over the Alberta Rose Theatre (3000 NE Alberta St) Oct 22–25. Shows are at 7:30pm Thursday through Saturday and 6:30pm on Sunday. It's rated PG-13.
Scary Home Companion is a live 1940s-style horror radio show inside the Victorian Belle Mansion (1441 N McClellan St) on Friday, Oct 30. Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7pm. A historic North Portland house is about the best setting a ghost story could ask for.
On Halloween night itself, the Portland Mercury's Scream Queen Halloween Dance Party hits Alberta Abbey (126 NE Alberta St) at 10:30pm. It's 21+, $15 in advance or $20 at the door, with a costume contest, flash tattoos and a photo booth.
Halloween Movies in Portland
Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton St) runs Horror October through Oct 27, with most screenings at $10. Highlights still to come: Frankenhooker on Oct 23 and Mandy on Oct 27. Clinton Street has run Rocky Horror longer than most of us have been alive, and the Oct 24 late show ($20) is the one to costume for.
If you like your horror classic, PAM CUT is screening Night of the Living Dead (1968) at the Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium on Oct 31 from 2 to 4pm. Tickets are $15.
A 21+ Halloween Night at OMSI
OMSI After Dark: Spirits on Wednesday, Oct 28, turns the science museum into a Halloween-themed tasting night with vendors and short talks, 6–10pm. It's 21+ with government ID, and general admission is $50. It's a nice midweek change of pace if your weekend is already booked.
Fall on an Oregon Cannabis Farm
We've been growing in Southern Oregon since 2015, when we earned Jackson County's first recreational grower license. For an Oregon cannabis farm, fall is the big season: outdoor plants come down, flower gets dried and cured slowly, and the rescued steer and alpacas in our 60-acre farm's sanctuary watch the whole thing with total indifference.
That's the part of fall we bring to Portland. Our own flower comes straight from that farm to our shelves, alongside a curated lineup of Oregon brands we trust, with no middleman marking it up between the field and the jar. Everyday Knockouts stay low all season, and tax is already included in every price, so the number you see is the number you pay.
Planning Your Halloween Weekend in Portland
A few things that make the night go smoother:
Book ahead. Haunts, tours and late shows on Oct 30 and 31 tend to sell out.
Want something gentler? Pumpkin patches and corn mazes are in our October in Portland guide.
Get a ride. Rideshare and TriMet are your friends on Halloween. Leave the car at home and parking stops being your problem.
Keep it legal. Cannabis stays at home in Oregon. Consuming in public, including at events, parks and bars, isn't allowed.
Check costume rules. Some venues limit masks and props, so look before you build that full-face werewolf rig.
Stop By Our Portland Dispensary Near PDX
TKO Farm Direct sits on NE Columbia Blvd, about 11 minutes from PDX and an easy stop on the way to Alberta, the east side or anywhere north. We're open Monday through Friday from 8am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. That includes Halloween Saturday, so swing by before the evening plans kick in.
Ask our budtenders about the newest harvest. They know the plant because they know the farm it came from, and they'll walk you through what's fresh without any upsell. Free parking, an accessible ramp, and we're cash only, with an ATM inside.
Come Say High
However you spend Halloween in Portland, we hope it's a good one: a little spooky, a lot of fun, and nobody driving home in a costume they can't see out of. Come say high at TKO Farm Direct, 851 NE Columbia Blvd, Portland, OR 97211. Grown by us. Priced fair.
