It’s Escape Halloween Time: Last-Minute Tips!

Whether you’re a festival pro or it’s your first time, these last-minute tips will make sure you’re set for a spooky good time. From costumes to bag regulations, here’s everything you need to know before you hit the festival grounds!

Dress to Impress (And Scare!) 👻🎩
Costumes are what makes Escape Halloween extra magical, so go all out! Whether you're bringing out the zombies, witches, or your favorite throwback character, dress up and have fun. Remember there are rules to follow—avoid large props or anything that could obstruct the crowd, anything that looks like weapons, no cops, firefighters, nurses, or anything that resembles professions in the service, protection, and care industry. AND no full face makeup so your ID is unrecognizable. Check the official guidelines at escapehalloween.com to make sure your costume is festival-friendly!

Pack Smart (But Not Too Big!) 🎒
Heads up: there are new bag size regulations this year. Only small bags are allowed, so plan carefully. Stick to the essentials—ID, phone, portable charger, water, and some cash or cards. For exact size details, visit escapehalloween.com to avoid any hiccups at the gate!

Know Your Ride 🚗 or 🚆
Parking fills up fast, so plan ahead if you’re driving. Carpooling with friends is a great way to save on parking fees and add to the pre-festival fun. If you’re looking for public transit options, many areas have shuttle services or transit lines to get you to the venue hassle-free. Pro tip: Arrive early for smoother entry and less stress.

Stay Hydrated & Fuel Up 💧🍌
With all the dancing and energy, staying hydrated is key. Bring an empty hydration pack or reusable water bottle (as permitted) to refill throughout the day. Don’t forget to grab a quick snack before heading in to keep that energy going strong all night long.

Be Kind & Respectful 👻✨
Practice PLUR! If you don't know what that is, find a local rave mom or dad! It’s all about good vibes! Be kind to fellow festival-goers, respect everyone’s space, and look out for each other. Halloween is even better when we’re all enjoying the spooky fun together!
