Halloween Thrills Await at The Castle of Muskogee
Muskogee, OK — Fall 2026 – This October, the Castle of Muskogee transforms into Oklahoma’s premier Halloween destination — a gaslit realm where old-world nostalgia meets modern-day fright. From eerie haunts to family-friendly adventures, the 2026 Halloween Festival promises spine-tingling thrills, whimsical fun, and memories to last a lifetime.
With over 20 unique merchants, tantalizing treats, and festive costumes, guests of all ages will find something to love in the Castle’s lantern-lit Village, its cobbled lanes inviting a bit of old-world wander. Best of all, Village admission is free with the purchase of a Haunt Ticket — shop, dine, and explore as part of your haunt experience, or visit the Village on its own for just $5 (Festival-Only admission). Look for a handful of new merchants and live entertainment and stage acts joining the Village this season.
Festival Highlights
🎭 Castle Village Wander into fog-veiled streets straight out of Whitechapel, where shopkeepers beckon with curiosities, tantalizing treats, and festive sips from sweet to savory. Free with a Haunt Ticket, or $5 for Festival-Only admission.
💀 12 Haunts, Rides & Games Face your fears in legendary Castle haunts, try your skill at festival games, take aim in Zombie Paintball.
🕺 Monster Dance At dusk, lanterns flicker to life and the Village Center comes alive. Dance along or watch the fun from the Crown Inn Pub. This is a zero-scare zone, free for all ages.
