This year’s list of theatrical style events for Halloween 2026 in Victoria, BC is looking good. How much I can take on depends on whether these ol’ bones can still rattle with the best of them! If I had to limit myself, my top picks would include High Moon, which the producers say will be louder and bloodier. It’ll be an improvement upon what I said in my review, or one can read my interview with the creators here. And along with Dread Noir, Final Curtain, and Witches in the Closet, this year promises to be a spooky good time.
That’s technically four, but I’d include Halloween Market YYJ because it has an entertainment component, music from DJ Brian Boitano, workshops, and pumpkin beer. Now in its fifth year, it’s worth mentioning! The following is a list of everything I’ve compiled with the assistance of the great community of Theatre Victoria on Facebook!
Live Theatre Productions
An All-Drag Cast: Rocky Horror
Date(s): Oct. 22–25, 2026
Venue: Greenhouse (1411 Quadra Street)
Drag Sunday Productions’ all-drag parody of The Rocky Horror Picture Show returns for its fifth year. This strictly 19+ audience-participation event invites guests to dress up, shout callbacks, and use props while the cast serves up a campy, high-energy take on the cult classic. ID is checked at the door.
Good news, 
Although Josh Gates told the story better on Tales from the Explorers Club, the sheer melodrama and hell the crew of the Endurance faced while attempting the first land crossing of Antarctica are something to behold when retold on stage.
