Palefest is where horror, heavy metal, and mask culture collide for one wild, all-day, all-night weekend.
Running 11:00am–2:00am on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, 2026, the festival brings together creators, collectors, vendors, and fans who live for the strange and unforgettable. From handcrafted masks and eerie art to live entertainment and one-of-a-kind networking opportunities you won’t find anywhere else, Palefest is the place to be. Whether you’re vending, attending, or just creeping around, come be part of one of the most unique festivals in the country.
SCREAM PARK
For two nights only, Land of Illusion Haunted Scream Park is throwing open its gates for an exclusive Palefest takeover.
From 1:00pm–6:00pm, attendees can explore special VIP daytime tours of gruesome haunts—full-access walkthroughs with behind-the-scenes immersion.
When concerts end, the park comes alive again, reopening with actors and all the chaos you’d expect, running straight through until 2:00am.
With your Palefest pass, you get unlimited access to everything while it’s open.
Two days. Nonstop thrills. Total freedom to roam.
AQUA ADVENTURES
Palefest attendees get full, all-day access to Land of Illusion Adventure Park’s Aqua Adventures for both days of the event.
From 11:00am–6:00pm on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, 2026, you can dive into slides, splash zones, and chill spots between running through haunts, vendors, and tattoo alley.
It’s the perfect place to cool off, recharge, or keep the adrenaline going long after the sun goes down. With your Palefest pass, the park stays open, the fun never stops, and the party follows you all day long.
