Halloween events in Dubai usually sprawl across a whole weekend. This year the calendar does most of the work. 31 October is a Saturday, so the brunches, the kids' events and the parties all land on one day, and Sunday is a day off for most of the city.
That's good news if you plan around it. You can do a family brunch at lunchtime, a bit of trick or treating at dusk, and still make a party by 7pm. Below you'll find what's confirmed for Saturday 31 October, what it costs in AED, how trick or treating really works in Dubai, and what to do if you'd rather host your own.
Why a Saturday Halloween changes the plan
The two daytime family brunches we checked both start at 12.30pm. That's a squeeze. If two families want the same slot at the same hotel, one of them books something else.
The upside is a full day to work with. Lunch out in costume, home for a rest, then the evening. Sunset falls around 5.30pm, which matters for anyone with small kids and a bag to fill.
Saturday 31 October, hour by hour
12.30pm to 4pm: brunch
Firelake at the Radisson Blu Hotel runs its Halloween brunch from 12.30pm to 4pm. Packages are Dhs395 with soft drinks, Dhs495 with house beverages and Dhs595 with premium beverages.
Euzone in Dubai Marina keeps the same hours and leans harder into the kids' side. Expect jugglers, a costume parade, face painting and a trick or treat station between courses. It's Dhs450 with soft drinks, Dhs595 with house beverages and Dhs795 with bubbly, and bookings are listed through One&Only Resorts.
5.30pm to 8.30pm: sunset brunch in JBR
London Social Garden brings its spooky brunch back for the evening, timed for the sunset. It's Dhs399 with soft drinks and Dhs549 with house beverages. Children aged six to 11 pay Dhs199, so it works for a family that missed the lunchtime slots.
7pm to 11pm: rooftop party in City Walk
La Ville Hotel & Suites hosts a rooftop party with Burj Khalifa in the background. Think spooky mixed drinks, bar bites and live beats. Entry is Dhs99 early bird, and the Dhs149 Halloween package covers two house beverages, two mixed drinks and a selection of bites. Come in costume.
City Walk also has a community Halloween event on 31 October, run by Dubai Holding Communities in the courtyard between Buildings 10 and 11. The listing mentions pumpkin carving, arts and crafts, face painting, storytelling and treat stations for all ages. It shows the date but not the timings, so check before you head over.
Theme parks
Dubai Parks and Resorts has run Halloween programmes through October in recent years, including Fright Nights at MOTIONGATE and a monster party at Legoland. We couldn't confirm this year's dates at the time of writing, so check the park sites before you plan around them.

Do the maths before you commit. A family of four at London Social Garden, two adults and two eight-year-olds on soft drinks, comes to Dhs1,196. Six friends at the La Ville rooftop on the Halloween package pay Dhs894. Those same six at Firelake on soft drinks pay Dhs2,370.
House, premium and bubbly packages include alcohol, so they're for guests aged 21 and over. The soft-drink packages are the family option.
How trick or treating works in Dubai
There's no citywide trick or treating night. It happens community by community.
Family villa communities are where it's easiest, and places like Arabian Ranches and The Springs are typically where kids head out after sunset. Houses that want visitors decorate or leave the porch light on. No decorations, skip the door.
Apartment living makes it harder because there are no front doors to knock on. Malls and hotels fill the gap with costume parades and treat stations, and City Walk's event has treat stations this year. Some buildings also organise a treat trail on the podium or in a party room, so ask your building management or resident group.
A few practical points help. Go early, because toddlers fade fast. Stay inside your own community and keep an adult close by. Carry water, since late October afternoons are still warm. A handful of glow sticks or glow-in-the-dark party wear keeps younger kids easy to spot once the sun's down.
Costumes and dress codes to check first
Venues in Dubai set their own rules, and public spaces follow local standards. Keep costumes suitable for a family mall, which means nothing gory, revealing or offensive. Some venues also restrict props like toy weapons or full-face masks, so read the booking page or message the venue before you buy.
When a booking isn't the right plan, host your own
A brunch for six can run past Dhs2,000 before any upgrades. A party at home, in your building's party room or at a dedicated kids' venue gives you control over the guest list, the food and the costume rules.
For the venue itself, Art in Space is built for kids' parties, Pepe Trattoria works well if you want a proper meal alongside the party, and Vizualife suits a group that wants an immersive space rather than a standard hall. Browse more party venues in Dubai if your living room won't hold the guest list.
From there it's entertainment and extras. Amazing Treats runs kids' entertainment and shows, Itemboxx hires out party games and equipment, and a Halloween-themed outdoor cinema night is an easy way to fill an evening if the group is more teens than toddlers. Pixtime covers a photo booth for costume shots, and if you'd rather hand the planning to someone else, Party Plan by Rula plans kids' birthdays and events end to end.
Halloween falls on a weekend, so the vendors you want will get requests for the same slot. Send your brief early.
