Non-Illinois Events

Halloween and Party Expo with Hauntcon (Virtual Event)

January 19-21, 2021

Today we are sharing the difficult decision that the upcoming Halloween & Party Expo, scheduled to take place January 22-24, 2021 in Dallas, Texas as well as the co-located HAuNTcon event will now pivot to a virtual event for the Halloween, party, celebration and haunt community. We continue to put the health, safety and wellbeing of our team, customers, partners, family and friends above all other priorities and those values remain most important to us. In light of both governmental direction and general public health advisories a face-to-face event will not be possible with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government issued State of Disaster in Texas

Transworlds Halloween & Attractions Show (St. Louis, MO)

May 6-9, 2021

t's hard to believe during these challenging times that the holiday season is here already! As we all scramble to come up with creative ways to safely celebrate with family and friends, we want to update you on the status of our 2021 show. Due to the spike in numbers regarding COVID-19 we have made the difficult decision to push back our show dates from March to May. Our new dates are May 6-9, 2021.
