Creepfest 26', Colombo’s Biggest Halloween Experience, Returns with a Mission

Creepfest 26' is set to return to Colombo this Halloween, bringing a new edition of the youth-led celebration that has brought together music enthusiasts and Halloween fans. Building on its previous edition, this year's event will feature an expanded programme of entertainment and themed activities, with a focus on engaging young audiences while supporting a charitable cause.

Jointly organised by the Rotaract Clubs of American National College, Cinnamon Gardens and Royal Institute of Colombo, in collaboration with the Interact Clubs of Colombo North and Mahanama College, Creepfest 26' reflects the collective efforts of young people seeking to create engaging experiences while contributing positively to society.

As part of this commitment, the organisers have placed fundraising for Apeksha Cancer Hospital, Maharagama, at the centre of this year's event. Funds raised through Creepfest 26' will be directed towards the hospital following its conclusion, demonstrating how youth-led entertainment initiatives can also serve a wider social purpose.

The event will feature performances by four prominent DJs, Vehan, Vortex, Uveen and Shenal, forming a key part of the evening's entertainment programme. With an expected attendance of 750 to 1,000 participants, Creepfest 26' aims to bring together young audiences from across Colombo through a shared interest in music and Halloween celebrations.

Alongside the musical performances, the programme will include Halloween-themed activities, creative costumes, interactive games and food, offering attendees an opportunity to experience different aspects of the celebration. These activities are being coordinated through the combined efforts of the organising clubs and their supporting partners.

Supporting the event are Red Bull, HardTalk, Fox FM, Graffon, Chadwin.exe, The Comms Outlet, Heladiv and Fabbies. Their involvement will contribute towards delivering the event's entertainment programme while supporting the organisers' broader objective of combining youth engagement with community-focused fundraising.

Creepfest 26' will take place on Friday, 30 October 2026, from 6.00 p.m. onwards at Arcade Independence Square, Colombo. Tickets are available through the official event website at https://creepfest.gpass.lk. This year's celebration will bring the spirit of Halloween to Colombo while providing an opportunity for young people to contribute towards the work of Apeksha Cancer Hospital.
