Halloween is taking over Manatee Island.
After an incredible debut, Ghoulapalooza returns for its 2nd annual celebration, bringing thousands of Halloween fanatics, music lovers, and partygoers together for the area's premier Halloween event.
This isn't your typical Halloween themed party. Ghoulapalooza is an immersive night of live rock, electronic music, haunted attractions, creepy characters, costumes, food, drinks, and mayhem - all taking over Manatee Island for one unforgettable night.
🎸 LIVE MUSIC
The main stage brings two powerhouse tribute acts representing two of the most influential bands of the '90s and 2000s.
CRAWLING — LINKIN PARK TRIBUTE
Crawling brings the sound, energy, and emotion of early Linkin Park to the Ghoulapalooza main stage.
Expect all the anthems that defined a generation—from In the End and Numb to Crawling, Faint, One Step Closer, and more.
NIRVANNA — NIRVANA TRIBUTE
Get ready to dive back into the grunge era with Nirvanna, delivering the raw energy and unmistakable sound of Nirvana.
Expect iconic tracks like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium, Heart-Shaped Box, and more.
🔊 THE DARK SIDE — EDM SECOND STAGE
When the rock isn't shaking the island, the Ghoulapalooza EDM Stage will be bringing a completely different kind of energy.
Featuring DJ's:
Jimmy Joslin
Kris Styles
Bryzergold
The night starts with old-school EDM classics and throwback dance anthems, taking you on a journey through the sounds that helped build the electronic music scene.
As the night gets darker, so does the music.
Expect dark dub, sinister bass, Halloween-inspired tracks, heavy drops, and straight-up electronic mayhem as the second stage transforms into the darker side of Ghoulapalooza.
👻 THE HAUNT
Think you see something moving behind the trees?
