Celebrate the spookiest time of the year as Pensacon HalloweenFest returns for two days of family-friendly, Halloween-themed fun at Splash City Adventures in Pensacola, Florida, on October 7th and 8th, 2023. HalloweenFest combines the pop culture fun of Pensacon with traditional Halloween celebrations for two full days in an outdoor convention atmosphere. The weekend will feature vendors, live entertainment, celebrity guests, artists, trick-or-treating and other fun in a safe environment. Costumes are encouraged, and each day will include a costume contest, with adults competing on Saturday and kids on Sunday.

Pensacon HalloweenFest is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the fan-favorite movie Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island with the voice of Scooby himself, Scott Innes, as one of this year’s celebrity guests. In addition to everyone’s favorite mystery-solving Great Dane, Scott voiced Shaggy and Scrappy-Doo in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Scott will be bringing along Scooby’s famous Mystery Machine for photo ops. Also joining the fun is actor Alex Hyde-White, who appeared as the younger Henry Jones Sr. in the adventure classic Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and as Marvel superhero Mr. Fantastic in Roger Corman’s cult adaptation of The Fantastic Four comic book series. Comic book writer and artist Thom Zahler (My Little Pony), will also be in attendance to meet fans.

Kids in costumes will receive a free Halloween bag, while supplies last, and are encouraged to trick-or-treat with the vendors set up at HalloweenFest. In addition to the free HalloweenFest festivities, Splash City Adventures’ amusement park will be fully operational, featuring go-karts, amusement rides, the Pirate Cove Arcade, miniature golf, Laser Tag and more. Special HalloweenFest pricing for Splash City attractions will be in effect.
