FREAK OUT IS BACK.

On Saturday 31 October, Karangahape Road transforms into Auckland’s biggest Halloween playground for Freak Out - a full street takeover of creepy installations, music, DJs, projections, markets, makeovers, performances, trick or treating and plenty of things that go bump in the night.

We kick things off family-style.

4.30–6.30pm:
Kids. Costumes. Dogs. Trick or treating. Face painting. Markets. A mini monsters costume comp. Pop-up rave. Halloween surprises.

Plus, the Freak Out Dog Parade, with Chris Parker and Suzanne Paul judging the competition. 

Then at 6.30pm, things get darker…

Street projections. DJs. Music. Lights. Markets. Late-night Halloween mischief. And a Graveyard Tour for those brave enough

Come dressed up. Bring the kids. Bring the dog. Bring your weirdest friends.

Or just come and watch Karangahape Road turn into something else entirely.

FREAK OUT
Saturday 31 October 2026
From 4.30pm – late
Karangahape Road, Auckland
FREE

More details and the full programme coming soon.

It’s Halloween.
It’s K Road.

SPAC3S is our 3rd Spaces Music Series! Put together by a collective of grass roots music venues across Karangahape Rd, all coming together to celebrate big noise, small rooms and community. 

We’re launching a showcase of events across multiple Karangahape Rd locations that exist as third spaces - our public places to come together away from home and work. This is a celebration of the diverse communities that call us home. 

Whammy and Neck of the Woods are kicking off our 3rd Spaces Music Series tonight with free gigs! 
Follow this page to see everything coming up this month and we’ll see you on the dance floor.

Brought to you by SPAC3S - a collaborative project of independent venues. 

3rd Spaces Music Series is supported by the CRL Sponsors - the NZ Government and Auckland Council.

A third space is a public place outside of your first place of home and your second place of work or school, where you can come together in community with other people. A place where you can find belonging, connection and joy.

Neck of the Woods

If community centres, churches and libraries are third spaces, then music venues are third spaces too. Music venues give us community, culture, mental relief, spiritual enrichment, and most of all, a reason to leave the house.

Whammy Bar

The 3rd Spaces Music Series is a celebration run collectively by grass roots music venues across Karangahape Rd. We’re bringing you a month long programme of events that centre the diverse communities that call these spaces home.

The Button Factory

Our neighbourhood finally has a brand new train station so your third spaces are now just a train ride away. Catch the train to Karanga-a-hape, get dinner or a drink at one of our great local eateries and then come meet us on the dance floor.
