# Event Details - **Event Name**: Horror For The Holidays Expo 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Nov, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 22 Nov, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: NEW LOCATION! NEW DATES! The 12th annual HORROR FOR THE HOLIDAYS Expo is the biggest and longest running horror-themed holiday event in Austin. Started as a shopping market in 2014, our vendors will always be the heart of HFTH. Along the way, we've added tons of attractions to add to the weekend of horror fun. Making it more of a unique "horror experience" rather than a giant convention. We have always been focused on our local community and it's become an Austin tradition for horror fans. Come and shop till you drop, meet some horror icons, get your pic with Evil Santa, watch the Krampus Parade, take a spooky craft class, enjoy our Film Festival and hang out with your fellow fiends. Our new move to a hotel will offer a level of horror camaraderie that will make memories for years to come. Made for horror fans by horror fans.
