Celebrating its 30th anniversary at the park, Fright Fest haunts Six Flags Fiesta Texas on select dates between September 11 and November 1. Attractions listings will populate below as they are confirmed for the 2026 season!
Fright Fest officially began at Fiesta Texas in 1996 after Time Warner and Six Flags took over management of the park. Fiesta Texas notorious for award-winning live entertainment and Fright Fest is no exception.

We do not have a 100% guaranteed solution for avoiding crowds. This is one of the busiest times of the year to visit a Six Flags park. However, there are a few methods we have tried in the past that have helped:
Go earlier in the season. Fright Fest starts in September. You will likely not run into the heavy crowds that are present the closer it gets to Halloween.
Go on an off-day. Have you thought about going to Fright Fest during the week on a Friday? This has sometimes been a great way to avoid the weekend crowd.
Do not go on coupon dates. If there is a deal for bringing friends free or discounted tickets we highly recommend that you do not go to the park if you are bothered by large crowds.
Try going on a Sunday. This isn't always the case, but sometimes Sunday is a less-crowded day than Saturday. We still think the closer it gets to Halloween the busier Sundays will inevitably get.
-
A highlight of the Halloween season is the park’s live entertainment offerings. We recommend arriving to venues earlier than usual to ensure admittance. Show schedules, when available, are listed on our Entertainment page.
-
Due to its content, Fright Fest is not recommended for guests under 13. During the day, Six Flags Fiesta Texas offers Tricks and Treats, a family-friendly Halloween alternative.
-
During the day, scare zones do not feature any monsters. However, once night falls, all scare zones are filled with scary characters with the sole intent to frighten the guests around them. Please note that many park attractions cannot be accessed without traveling through various scare zones within the park.
