We’re Leila + Brian and we run Lite+Brite, a weekly newsletter featuring creative local happenings, DJ mixes, interviews with local event producers, playlists, + guides to getting the most out of living in Austin. In addition to that, every year at Halloween we track sackfuls of spooky events in a big spreadsheet.
Brian originally designed FestWiz to help us keep track of hundreds of bands coming to town for South by Southwest, and this year we’re repurposing it to make our Halloween listings look pretty and easier to look at on a phone. (You can still view the 2026 FestWiz for South by Southwest here.)
This list is researched by humans, curated by humans, descriptions are written by humans, and if anything inhuman is involved in the events we list, it’s of the vampire/werewolf/mummy variety. AI was used to help build this website; Brian makes websites for a living but wouldn’t have had time to build this one otherwise. If you prefer, you can view the listings as a traditional Google Spreadsheet.
We provide all this for free. Mostly we just want to enjoy the season and encourage everyone to go to all these excellent events and do Halloween right. If you appreciate the work we put into these listings and would like to show your support, we’d love if you subscribed to our weekly newsletter, or read our books, or listened to our radio show, or just shared this resource. We’ll be continuing to add more Halloween events here as we find them, so feel free to check back. Thanks for clicking on things and reading things!
