At 8 pm., the Addams Family, comprised of 12 dancers, will arrive at Largo Eng.o Pacheco, in downtown Albufeira, taking the stage to star in a choreographed stage and dance performance – "Theme Song Addams Family" – with Mortícia & Gomes, Tio Fester, and Wednesday. A flash mob will follow.

Next comes a moment of humour, terror, and interaction – the Halloween Contest – a pastime consisting of a parade to vote for the stars of Albufeira Halloween.

Meanwhile, everything is ready for another Spooky Run, a 5-kilometer run/walk, starting at 8 p.m. and passing through the city streets under the light of a full moon.

At 9 p.m., Mortícia performs several musical themes that combine terror and humor, in a choreography by the famous Wednesday that invites the public to participate.

Around 10 p.m., the Dance of the Damned arrives, a show inspired by 18th-century court balls, in a "dead man's ball" version, accompanied by classical music remixed with electronic beats, creating a truly breathtaking gothic atmosphere.

The performance ends on the stage at Largo Eng.o Duarte Pacheco and continues onto the street, with stilt-walking characters and monsters coming to life amidst the crowd.

Starting at 11 p.m., Halloween Fest will take place, featuring Algarve DJ Dhanny, circus acts, entertainers, dancers, and music from the on-call singer, Morticia. It's a nonstop show featuring zombie dancers, circus performers, and shadowy creatures.

The Galeria Pintor Samora Barros will be illuminated with spotlights, spider webs, bats, flying witches, skeletons, and pumpkins.

Video mapping will be projected onto the façade, guaranteed to scare even the bravest visitors.

Inside the gallery, a Halloween playground has been set up with entertainment and face painting for little ones, who can participate accompanied by their parents or other family members.

Here, they can also star in various adventures at the House of Terror and participate in Halloween workshops and games.

At midnight, the Curse of the Full Moon descends upon the city. Black confetti bursts, smoke jets, light explosions, and werewolf roars transform Largo Engº Duarte Pacheco into a "rave of the undead" until the early hours of the morning (1:00 a.m.).
