The Hallowbaloo Street Festival and Hallowbaloo Ball kick off festivities at 5:00pm in China Town and surrounding and the surrounding streets. We couldn’t be more excited about our return! With iconic landmarks, manicured lawns and expansive tree canopies, the area has the look and feel of a state park and serves as the perfect oasis for sharing Halloween aloha and enjoying rambunctious rhythms. At 9pm, Club Hallowbaloo revs up in Chinatown and Aloha Tower Marketplace with bodacious beats bouncing deep into the night at 10 venues.
There’s Halloween cheer, entertainment, bites and beverages to suit every fancy. For families and revelers who prefer a smooth ghoulish glide, an early jaunt through Hallowbaloo’s street festival, including dinner at one of its delectable pop-ups (Square Barrels, Hawaiian Fresh Farms, Istanbul Restaurant, Olay’s Thai Express and more), will be hard to beat. And of course, if you’re one of the many who view Hallowbaloo as the ultimate euphoric release, take a double dip of masquerade mayhem by dancing through the nearly 10,000 costumed revelers who fill our street festival grounds and Club Hallowbaloo.
Hallowbaloo hijinks happen only once a year. Get your costumes ready!

Attendees, Artists & Merchants Rave About Hallowbaloo
Chinatown Resident:
“For those who didn’t make it to the “new” Hallowbaloo – if you’re curious – this year’s set-up was great! With multiple stages, all kinds of food and an attractive site surrounding the State Art Museum, it’s a playground for grownups with great people-watching and entertainment. With Booker T as the headliner and more great music at each corner, I’m still recovering from all the dancing I did. Bravo Mark Tarone – hope you’re in that location again next year! . . . A most enjoyable experience in Honolulu, and as promised, great use of an attractive, historic district. Mahalo!”
Chinatown Business Owner:
“This was my first Halloween back on the island for almost 10 years. I had never seen such a turnout…who knew how eclectic of a vibe Chinatown has provided for Hawaii. Great job!”
Island Visitor from Florida:
“Shout out to Hallowbaloo…flew in from Florida and we planned our multi-week visit to Hawaii around the festival. So glad we did, as we like to try to hang with the locals in any new place we visit. Hallowbaloo was super cool! Highlight of the time spent in Honolulu! We need this type of event in my hometown, Delray Beach – twice a year ideally. One for Halloween and another halfway to Halloween! Everyone is just plain happy while in costume! Great location, awesome revelers and overall fantastic time!”

State Foundation on Culture and the Arts – Jonathan Johnson (Executive Director):
“The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts enjoyed having HiSAM [Hawaii State Art Museum] serve as the epicenter of Hallowbaloo last year and is glad it’s back in 2016. It’s a spooky, fun way to bring the community together while showcasing a wide range of local talent and creativity.”
Kalalea Lights Dancer & Manager:
“Hallowbaloo brings the community together to celebrate life! What a wonderful opportunity to enjoy our beautiful city, local art, music, food and each other!”
The Infamous Bourbon Boys Musician & Manager:
“Hallowbaloo is a great event that crosses all forms of art and brings the community together. I love it. No other event like it in all of Hawaii.”
