Haunted Bonfire & Haunted Graveyard Spectacular

Dewey Beach gets seriously spooky for one weekend in October. The Haunted Bonfire and Haunted Graveyard Spectacular takes over Dickinson Avenue on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, 2026. This two-night event combines a crackling beach bonfire with a full haunted graveyard experience that's equal parts creepy and fun.

The Setup: The Dickinson Avenue area transforms into a haunted landscape with ghoulish decorations, eerie lighting, and plenty of surprises around every corner. The bonfire anchors the evening - grab a spot near the flames and enjoy the October ocean air while the graveyard does its best to give you goosebumps.

Insider Tip: Friday night pairs perfectly with Dewey Beach Trick or Treating earlier in the evening. Make a whole Halloween weekend out of it - Dewey in the fall is a hidden gem with smaller crowds and cooler temps.
