Pittsburgh Playhouse's Fall Fest brings family-friendly crafts and activities, costumes and games, and a Halloween performance to Downtown.

The haunted house Portals of Fear features great performers and a memorable theme.

You’ll be totally shucked when you head into these confounding corn mazes, where getting lost is the point and getting out can require solving intricate designs, navigating by flashlight, sipping wine—or all three.

When the weather turns crisper, head outdoors for some autumn adventuring that isn’t the usual pumpkin patch. Try fall foliage hikes, haunted trail races, a UV-lit nature walk, and one very extreme jump off a bridge—if you dare.

Pittsburgh’s ghosts have stories to tell—and this month, you can hear them on a riverboat, inside a 100-year-old manor, at an historic village, and on the streets where some of the city’s strangest stories unfolded.

So you’ve aged out of trick-or-treating. Congrats: You now have an all-access pass to grown-up Halloween in Pittsburgh, with adults-only parties, creepy cocktails, drag and comedy shows and DJs—and the chance to find out what really goes bump in the night.

Pittsburgh’s most celebrated haunted attraction is much more than jump scares.

Fill your calendar with frights, from traditional spookhouses to full fall festivals — many add drinks, carnival games and more.

From an evening with the symphony to an outdoor outing for the whole family, the city is packed with events.
