In 2026, The Haunted Gala will make its dazzling debut – an adult only, frightening affair fusing costume glamour, theatrical performance and the thrill of the unknown across the Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building. This will be the event of the Halloween season for spooky style-makers and night owls alike.
