Top 10 Halloween Events in Muscat 2026: Family Mornings, Kids Parties and Night Plans for October 29 to 31
Quick Answer
Muscat has 10 Halloween events from Oct 29 to 31, 2026: kids parties and a costume breakfast by day, boat and music nights after dark. Kids and family tickets run OMR 6.900 to 12.
Halloween in Muscat This Week: What Is On
Halloween plans in Muscat this year split into three clear types: family sessions, kids parties and evening music events. Family sessions run on Thursday and Friday. Kids parties cluster between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM. Music events start at 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM and one runs until 2:30 AM.
All ten events fall on three dates: Thursday, October 29, 2026, Friday, October 30, 2026 and Saturday, October 31, 2026, which is Halloween night itself. Because Oman’s weekend runs Friday and Saturday, Thursday evening works as a weekend opener, with kids sessions early and nightlife later.

How to Choose Between These Halloween Events
Accessibility. The events spread across Al Mouj, Bousher, Qurum, Madinat Sultan Qaboos, Seeb, Muscat Bay and Muscat’s coast. Pick the one closest to home first, then compare programmes. Travel time typically varies with traffic, especially on Thursday and Friday evenings.
Timing. Breakfast in Costume is the only morning event, running 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM on Friday. Kids parties run 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Night events start from 9:00 PM, with Friday Shake, Rattle ’n Roll as the afternoon exception.
Comfort level. Short, structured sessions such as BlueBalloonia and Spooky Party suit children who like clear activities. Breakfast in Costume suits families who prefer a relaxed pace. The Cursed Night, After Dark and Neon Ween are music-led evenings.
Crowd patterns. Ticketed sessions with set start times typically fill closer to the start. Evening events on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday tend to be busier than weekday nights in Muscat.
Indoor or outdoor. BlueBalloonia is described as a covered-space event. The Little Gym hosts indoor gymnastics-based activities. The boat party is on the water. Other venues are hotel, restaurant or lounge settings.

BlueBalloonia
A covered, balloon-themed kids party with crafts, food and Halloween surprises at Al Mouj Muscat.
This is a children’s celebration on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Programme data lists crafts, play in a covered space, food and Halloween surprises, with tickets at OMR 10.
Al Mouj is commonly known as a waterfront community on Muscat’s coast with a marina, which gives the evening an outing feel for families. The name points to a balloon theme, though the programme lists activities rather than specifics.
For dinner or a waterfront walk around the party, see our Al Mouj nightlife and dining guide.
Limitation: The programme does not state an age range, so check suitability for very young children before booking.
Best for: Families wanting a short, covered, craft-led Halloween party on Thursday evening.
Spooky Party at The Little Gym (Thursday)
An active Halloween party built around gymnastics, group games and music for children aged 6 to 12.
Programme data places this at The Little Gym, Dolphin Village, Bousher, on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. The ticket is OMR 12 per child. The listing mentions gymnastics, group games, music and hospitality, and says it suits children who enjoy movement and activity.
The Little Gym Muscat is a children’s movement centre offering non-competitive gymnastics-based classes for ages 4 months to 12 years, which fits the format of this party. Expect a gym-style setting rather than a decorated hall.
Limitation: The programme targets ages 6 to 12, so younger siblings may not fit the activity level.
Best for: Energetic 6 to 12 year olds who prefer games and movement over crafts.
Breakfast in Costume
A relaxed Friday brunch where families dress up, eat together and join Halloween crafts.
This takes place at The Source, Qurum, on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Tickets are OMR 6.900 per person. Programme data lists a breakfast buffet with children’s activities including pumpkin painting, photo frame decoration, trick or treat, nail design and music by Rubeat.
Qurum is commonly known as a central Muscat district with shops, cafes and hotels, so the morning pairs easily with other plans nearby. The mix of food and activities makes it the longest daytime family option on the list.
Limitation: Pricing is per person, so the total rises with family size.
Best for: Whole families wanting breakfast and Halloween activities in one place.
Spooky Party at Souq Al Madina (Friday)
The Friday evening version of the Halloween party, with gymnastics, group games and music for ages 6 to 12.
Programme data places this at Souq Al Madina, Madinat Sultan Qaboos, on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. The ticket is OMR 12 per child. The description matches the Thursday party: gymnastics, group games, music and hospitality.
Souq Al Madina is a retail and dining centre in Madinat Sultan Qaboos, designed with traditional souq-style architecture and open community spaces. It is a different atmosphere from a gym setting.
Limitation: Pricing is per child and the programme does not list adult entry, so confirm before bringing parents or siblings.

After Dark
A Thursday late-night Halloween party at Golden Tulip Muscat with a four-name performing lineup.
Programme data lists the event on Thursday, October 29, 2026, starting at 10:00 PM at Golden Tulip Muscat. The lineup includes Noyan, Rhymme, Mondi Mo and Iman. No ticket price or end time is listed.
Golden Tulip hotels in Muscat are located in the Seeb area, so this suits guests already on that side of the city. Hotel venues typically offer parking and a defined entrance, which keeps arrival simple.
Limitation: No price or finish time is listed, so pricing typically varies and should be confirmed.
Best for: Thursday night guests who want a hotel-based Halloween party.
The Cursed Night
A Halloween night with music and a mysterious mood, led by three DJs and two MCs.
Programme data places this at Sand & Sea, Muscat Bay, on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 10:00 PM. The lineup lists DJ Zero, DJ Sultan, DJ Sam, MC Sharo and MC Munta. No ticket price is listed.
Muscat Bay is commonly known as a coastal development south of central Muscat. The setting suggests a night out by the sea, though the programme gives no layout details.
Limitation: The coastal location may mean a longer trip from northern districts, and no price is listed, so pricing typically varies.
Best for: Guests who want a DJ and MC lineup on Thursday night.
Samhain Halloween Boat Party
A Halloween party on the water, leaving from Al Mouj Marina with two DJs.
Programme data lists this on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 9:00 PM to midnight, aboard a 7sd Cruise vessel departing Al Mouj Marina. DJ Saki and DJ Sultan are listed. Tickets are OMR 12 per person or OMR 20 per couple.
Samhain is the ancient Gaelic festival from which Halloween developed, which explains the name. Al Mouj Marina is one of Muscat’s marinas and is where boat cruises commonly depart.
Limitation: Sea conditions and the fixed boarding window typically limit flexibility, so arrive on time.
Best for: Couples, thanks to the OMR 20 couple price.
Friday Shake, Rattle ’n Roll
An afternoon Halloween session with live music, games, prizes and a second round of competition.
Programme data places this at Liquid Sky Restaurant & Lounge, Muscat, on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The listing mentions a live band, games, prizes, a second competition round and a VIP section with live performance, games and prizes.
The afternoon timing sets it apart from the late-night events and fits a restaurant and lounge format. No ticket price is listed.
Limitation: There is no price and no detail on what the VIP section includes, so pricing typically varies.
Best for: Guests who want Friday afternoon entertainment instead of a late night.
Arabiya Nights (Masquerade Edition)
A masked Halloween edition of Arabiya Nights at Crowne Plaza Muscat OCEC, running into early Saturday.
Programme data lists entry from 9:30 PM and the programme from 10:00 PM to 2:30 AM on Saturday morning, on Friday, October 30, 2026. Tickets start from OMR 10. The theme is a masquerade party.
Crowne Plaza Muscat OCEC is part of the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre complex in Madinat Al Irfan, roughly 10 minutes from Muscat’s airport according to its opening announcements. The masquerade theme invites dress-up with masks.
Limitation: The 2:30 AM finish makes it the longest event on the list, so plan transport in advance.

Neon Ween at The Eleven
A neon-themed Halloween takeover at Eleven Club, Grand Hyatt Muscat, on Halloween night itself.
This runs on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with doors at 9:00 PM at The Eleven, Grand Hyatt Muscat. DJ Avemaria headlines with Bass-Sado as the supporting act. Ticket listings show ladies entry from OMR 5, gents entry from OMR 10 and couples entry from OMR 10. No end time is listed.
The dress code is neon, or as colourful as guests like to go with a spooky costume. Grand Hyatt Muscat is an established hotel commonly listed among Qurum area hotels, which keeps the location central. It is the only event on this list that falls on Halloween night itself.
Limitation: The organiser states masks are not allowed, so full-face costume ideas need adapting.
Best for: Guests who want to celebrate on Halloween night itself in a neon dress code.
Local Insight: Weekends, Timing and Qurum
Oman’s weekend is Friday and Saturday, so Thursday evening starts the weekend. Arabiya Nights runs into early Saturday morning, and Neon Ween closes the list on Saturday night.
Late October evenings in Muscat typically feel more comfortable than afternoons, which helps the boat party and the 5:00 PM kids sessions. Daytime events such as Friday Shake, Rattle ’n Roll run through the warmer part of the day.
Breakfast in Costume sits in Qurum, and Neon Ween sits in the same wider area. According to Experience Oman, Qurum Natural Park has been open since 1993 and remains a popular green space for locals and visitors, which gives families an easy follow-up stop after Friday’s breakfast.
