Halloween enthusiasts in Dubai can look forward to a spooktacular weekend, enjoying a variety of free events and activities. At Times Square Center, families can participate in a range of Halloween-themed activities, including the Ghoulty Towers Hotel stage show, a Monster Party dance session, and a magic show by Magic Phil. Additionally, children can engage in creepy crafts workshops, a magic dance school, and spooky games, all free of charge.

The Spooky Sweet Trail on Saturday, October 31, allows children to trick-or-treat at participating stores from 2pm to 4pm, adding to the excitement. A costume competition will take place on Sunday, November 1, at 5pm, offering prize bundles for winners. Registration for the activities and competition can be done through the Wafi City website, which is also hosting its own Halloween festivities across the weekend.

Games and challenges, as well as a trick-or-treat trail, are available for children to collect passport stickers and treats, with bonus stops at Khan Murjan Souk. A costume competition open to all ages will occur on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm to 7pm. All of these Halloween events and activities are free of charge, providing a delightful and frightfully fun experience for the whole family to enjoy.
