G’day mates! Ready for a spooktacular night out? Mark your calendars because POOF DOOF Halloqween 2025 is happening on the 31st of October starting at 9:00 PM and going all the way until 7:00 AM on the 1st of November. It’s all kicking off at the iconic 60 King Street, right in the heart of Melbourne. This is the ultimate annual Halloween rave – think costumes, beats, and a vibe from beyond the grave! Known as Australia’s biggest gay party brand, POOF DOOF doesn’t disappoint with its wild, all-inclusive vibes and legendary events both locally and globally. So gather your crew and get ready to dance the night away!
This isn’t just any night out – it’s a night to remember! POOF DOOF Halloqween is renowned for its electrifying atmosphere, where Melbourne’s vibrant club scene comes alive with incredible DJ sets and performances. It’s more than just a party; it’s an experience that you’ll be talking about until next Halloqween. Whether you’re a local or just in town, this gets the streets buzzing like nothing else.
If you’re itching to explore a bit off the beaten path, make sure to check out the charming Guilty Pleasure Coffee Shop nestled just a short walk from the venue. Their banana bread is to die for, and the baristas are some of the friendliest in the city.
To avoid the traffic and hassle of parking, hop on a tram or train to Southern Cross Station, just a short stroll from the venue. If you prefer riding in style, a rideshare will do the trick, but head in early to beat the crowd and snag a prime spot. Better yet, if you’re feeling adventurous, grab a rental e-scooter for a fun and breezy ride to the party!
For a hearty meal before diving into the festivities, grab a table at the nearby Irish Times Pub. Known for their hearty lamb stew and a killer pint of Guinness, it’s the perfect spot to fuel up. Feeling a bit fancy? Head over to Chin Chin for some modern Thai delights and a lively atmosphere. You simply can’t go wrong!
October in Melbourne can be a mixed bag, so pack a light jacket. The evening might start warm, but it can cool off later. And, as we all know, Melbourne’s springtime is known for a cheeky shower or two, so don’t forget that brolly!
If you want to make a whole day or night of it, here’s how you can stretch the fun:
Start your day with a peaceful stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens to invigorate your mind and body. Alternatively, swing by AC/DC Lane and discover the legendary street art that brings Melbourne’s alleys to life.
After the event, why not head to Section 8, a cool outdoor bar tucked away in Tattersalls Lane, perfect for a nightcap or two. They have fantastic tunes and even better vibes, perfect to wind down with friends.
Public transport is your best mate here, with trams and trains aplenty. However, expect a lively crowd! If you’re travelling by car, keep an eye out for street parking across the CBD, but be prepared to stretch those legs a bit. Early birds catch the best spots!
If you’re opting for a rideshare, they’re pretty hassle-free, though booking in advance around peak times is smart to avoid surge pricing.
For a night’s stay nearby, try the budget-friendly YHA Melbourne Central for a social and affordable stay. Looking for something mid-range? Check out the Adina Apartment Hotel which offers comfy and spacious rooms. For those wanting a splash of luxury, the Langham Hotel offers stunning river views and indulgent amenities – quite a treat after a long night out.
