Transworld Halloween and Haunted House Attraction Tradeshow

About Transworld Halloween and Haunted House Attraction Tradeshow

TransWorld’s Halloween & Attractions Show is the annual trade show for the haunted attraction and Halloween industry, held at the America’s Center in downtown St. Louis. TransWorld has run it for four decades, and the next edition opens February 25-28, 2027, with show floor hours from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Thursday through Saturday and until 2:00 pm on Sunday. TransWorld’s Christmas Show and Interactive Entertainment Show, which covers escape rooms, virtual reality, axe throwing and other experience-based venues, are co-located with it.

The show is not open to the public, so buyers qualify with business credentials such as a business license, resale tax certificate, business registration or an operating business website, and the show is aimed at people who run or plan to open haunted attractions, corn mazes, farms, pumpkin patches, paintball fields, family fun centers, amusement parks, zoos, aquariums and Halloween retail stores. Registration packages include four days of access to the show floor, with The Dark Zone, makeup demos and exhibitor seminars, plus four early bird seminars, while haunt tours, seminars, industry parties and workshops cost extra. For the general public, the show points to the Midwest Haunters Convention and the East Coast Haunters Convention.

TransWorld Trade Shows handles buyer credentials from its office in Winnetka, Illinois.
