Creepfest 26, Colombo’s largest Halloween celebration, is set to return on October 30, 2026, featuring an expanded lineup of entertainment and activities aimed at engaging young audiences while supporting a charitable cause. The event will be held from 6 p.m. onwards at Arcade Independence Square in Colombo.

Organized collaboratively by the Rotaract Clubs of American National College, Cinnamon Gardens, and Royal Institute of Colombo, along with the Interact Clubs of Colombo North and Mahanama College, Creepfest 26 reflects a youth-driven initiative that combines entertainment with social responsibility. Central to this year’s event is fundraising for Apeksha Cancer Hospital in Maharagama, with proceeds from Creepfest directed to aid the institution’s ongoing efforts.

The evening’s entertainment will feature performances by four noted DJs: Vehan, Vortex, Uveen, and Shenal. Event organizers anticipate attracting between 750 and 1,000 attendees, drawing young people across Colombo to celebrate both music and the Halloween tradition.

In addition to the musical acts, the program includes Halloween-themed activities, creative costume displays, interactive games, and food stalls. These components aim to offer a comprehensive experience for visitors, showcasing the organizing clubs' commitment to community engagement and youth participation.

The event is supported by several corporate partners, including Red Bull, HardTalk, Fox FM, Graffon, Chadwin.exe, The Comms Outlet, Heladiv, and Fabbies. These sponsors contribute to delivering a varied entertainment lineup while backing the organizers’ objective of combining recreational events with charitable fundraising.

Tickets for Creepfest 26 are available through the official website. The event represents a continuation of a youth-led tradition that not only celebrates cultural festivity but also promotes social contribution through entertainment-based activities.
