Shaq’s Halloween Carnival, Shaqtoberfest, Will Return To The Queen Mary Waterfront This Fall

Where Shaquille O’Neal goes, the party follows.

Shaqtoberfest, a halloween carnival from the NBA Hall-of-Famer turned superstar DJ, is returning to the “notoriously haunted” Queen Mary Waterfront from September 28 to October 31, 2023.

The immersive halloween festival will include haunted trails, live entertainment, themed bars and lounges, carnival rides and more.

This year, the month-long Halloween event will debut a new haunted house experience, “The Grey Ghost,” on board the historic Queen Mary cruise liner which is permanently docked at the site. 

A trick-or-treat experience for kids will also be available at the event’s Midway Madness area, before adults-only time begins at 8PM each night. Additional themed experiences include Diesel’s Pumpkin Patch, Shipwreck Graveyard, Pirate’s Cove, Deadman’s Wharf and more.

Of course, no Shaq party would be complete without some banging tunes. Shaqtoberfest has tapped up-and-coming drum & bass artist REAPER and spooky hit-makers LVCRFT to play during the carnival at the LVCRFT Block Party Stage.

Registration for pre-sale tickets to Shaqtoberfest 2023 is now available here. Once passes go live, guests will have the option to buy tickets and select specific dates later for added flexibility.
