Halloween events in Jacksonville
If you only go out for one thing this fall, make it Halloween in Jacksonville. The haunted attractions, corn mazes, and pumpkin patches below are the real lineup — check back, because dates land through October.
Confirmed dates
The Smashing Pumpkins: The Rats In A Cage Tour
Oct 17, 2026 · VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena
The Rats In A Cage Tour follows a multi-faceted 2025 anniversary blowout for Mellon Collie, including a deluxe vinyl reissue featuring previously unheard live recordings from the world tour supporting the album, a special reimagining of Mellon Collie's iconic hits and beloved
fan-favorites onstage with the Lyric Opera Of Chicago, and culinary collaborations with Vosges Haut-Chocolat and Erewhon. Released the same year as Machina/The Machines Of God's 25th anniversary reissue, the Mellon Collie celebration continued what has been a furiously productive decade for The Smashing Pumpkins, with a flood of inspiration producing 2020's Cyr, 2022/2023's triple-album Atum: A Rock Opera In Three Parts, and 2024's Aghori Mhori Mei.

Good to know
- Haunted houses sell out on the last two weekends — book ahead, don't walk up.
- Pumpkin patches are best on weekday mornings: smaller crowds, better light for photos.
- Bring cash for the farm stands; card readers and corn mazes don't always mix.
- Check age guidance before bringing small kids to a haunt — 'family fright nights' are the gentler pick.
