2018 Halloween & Haunted Attraction Conventions Throughout the U.S.

The TransWorld Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis

For fans of the Halloween holiday, the season never really ends just because it isn't October 31st anymore. For many, there are a number of fun and festive ways to keep the Halloween spirit going throughout the entire year. 

One of those ways is to attend a Halloween or Haunted Attraction Trade Show or Convention! There are a ton of great events coming up in 2018, from TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis to Midsummer Scream in California.

If you love Halloween as much as we do, you try to find ways to celebrate the holiday all year round, not just in October. Halloween and Haunted Attraction Conventions and Trade Shows make it possible for us Halloween lovers to enjoy the spooky spirit during different times throughout the year.

These events are ideal not only for fans of the holiday, but for Haunted House owners, prop makers, makeup artists, set designers, macabre music creators and more. Check out the shows taking place in 2018 and begin your planning!
