Paisley Halloween Festival

Friday 25 - Saturday 26 October, 2024

Paisley Halloween Festival will take place on Friday 25 (4pm – 9pm) and Saturday 26 October (2pm – 9pm). 

The festival will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year with some exciting event changes. 

  • The return of the much-loved parade for the first time since 2019.   
  • Daytime entertainment including stage and street performances. 
  • New funfair location at the Lagoon and East End Park. 
  • The parade will start at 7pm each night and last approximately 60 minutes. There will be more places you’ll be able to see it from too, with the route taking in Mill Street for the first time.

The event is free-to-attend but this year will see the introduction of new grandstand seating offering a fantastic view of the parade, with tickets priced at £15 per person. A small number of grandstand tickets will go on sale from 19 September.

The whole town centre will be geared-up for Halloween fun with Funfair outside the Lagoon and in East End Park as well as lighting displays on key buildings. Local businesses and partners will also put on Halloween-inspired activities across the town. 

Paisley Halloween Festival is delivered by Renfrewshire Council with support from performance specialists Cirque Bijou and lighting design by Grant Anderson. 

The event is supported by EventScotland as part of their national events programme.

The return of the parade is not just an exciting thing for visitors. It will also showcase Renfrewshire’s vibrant grassroots cultural scene by providing more than 1,000 opportunities for local people to get involved and participate.
