The night before Halloween, one of Lansdale's oldest rail buildings turns into a costume ball. Discover Lansdale hosts its first-ever Fright House Halloween Ball on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, from 7 to 11 p.m. inside the Historic Lansdale Freight House, 111 S. Broad Street. It's a 21+ event, and all proceeds benefit the ongoing restoration of the Freight House.
Lansdale grew up around the railroad, so a party in its historic freight station doubles as a fundraiser for the borough's own history.
Expect a light bite buffet and hors d'oeuvres, drinks from Boardroom Spirits, music and dancing, plus a DJ spinning all night, a photo mirror, tarot card readings and a roaming magician. Costumes are encouraged, and Discover Lansdale is awarding prizes for the best ones.
Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, and the listing allows refunds up to 7 days before the event. All guests must provide valid proof of age for admission.
It's a grown-up Halloween night out in a historic building, and every ticket helps keep that building's restoration moving.
Plan your costume early if you're going for a prize, and check the Eventbrite page for current ticket prices.
