Freakfest - Halloween Costume Party Tickets

Freakfest began as Madison’s iconic State Street Halloween Party in 2006, evolving into a formalized festival that brought a carnival of costumes, live music, and crowd energy to Wisconsin’s capital. While the festival has faced cancellations in 2020, 2021, and 2022 due to COVID concerns and funding/public-cost considerations, Freakfest remains a notable name in the regional Halloween scene. This artist page highlights Freakfest’s history, genre-spanning performances, and a look at how the brand has shaped Madison’s Halloween culture.

As you explore the career of Freakfest, you’ll find a lineage of multi-genre acts that reflected the festival’s diverse approach—rock, hip-hop, electronic, and more—performed along Madison’s historic State Street with multiple stages and tens of thousands of attendees in peak years.
