Fright Fest Six Flags Fiesta Texas: 2025 In-Depth Guide

Every fall, Six Flags Fiesta Texas transforms its quarry-side coaster kingdom into a haunt-filled playground known as Fright Fest. From September 6 through November 2, 2025, on select nights, fog cloaks the midway in San Antonio, Texas, monsters roam free, and award-winning productions light up the iconic limestone quarry walls. Whether you’re hunting new nightmares or seeking family-friendly daytime fun, this beloved San Antonio Halloween tradition delivers chills, thrills, and plenty of memorable moments.

Where the Howls Happen

From crackling coasters to creepy canyons, the thrills echo off limestone walls all night long.

Fright Fest takes over the entire Six Flags Fiesta Texas resort at 17000 IH-10 West, San Antonio, TX. Expect multiple scare zones throughout the park, including Crackaxle Canyon, where eerie creatures lurk, haunted houses hidden beneath towering coasters, and dazzling night shows projected on the massive quarry wall. The park’s prime location inside The Rim shopping district offers convenient access to nearby restaurants and hotels—ideal for recharging between frights.

Dates to Mark in Blood

Circle your calendar in red—these are the nights when Fiesta Texas becomes frightfully unforgettable.

Mark your calendar for September 6 through November 2, 2025, with Fright Fest operating on select nights during this period. Haunted houses typically open around 6 p.m. and remain active until park closing, while daytime features lighter, family-friendly “Kids Boo Fest” activities before darkness falls and the scares begin.

Who Should Brave the Night?

Daredevil teens, scare-curious families, and haunt chasers unite—there’s a chill for every thrill level here.

Fright Fest caters to horror enthusiasts, teens seeking adrenaline-pumping jump scares, and families enjoying milder attractions before nightfall. After dark, encounters become PG-13 in intensity, featuring live actors, intense themes, and immersive scares. For true haunt fans, the Haunted Attractions Pass and Flash Pass upgrades provide access to all mazes with minimal wait times, turning a park visit into a full-on scream-cation experience.

What Makes This Fiesta Freaky?

The 2025 lineup includes returning fan favorites and exciting new additions:

• New haunted houses inspired by popular franchises such as Stranger Things and The Conjuring Universe
• Returning staple shows like the Monster Mash Bash and the spectacular Frightful Finale fireworks on the quarry wall, supported by synchronized pyrotechnics and top-tier live performance elements
• The debut of Dia de los Muertos celebrations in Texas State Square featuring vibrant decorations and cultural themes
• A refresh of the classic Poltergeist haunted house with updated scares and special effects
• Multiple scare zones featuring zombies, witches, and other nightmarish creatures to roam freely among visitors
• Night rides on coasters enhanced with darkness and spooky atmosphere to amplify the thrill

These productions have earned Fiesta Texas ten consecutive Golden Ticket Awards for “Best Theme Park Shows”, highlighting their quality and popularity.

Park, Walk, Screech

Plan ahead, park smart, and let your first scream of the night be from the coasters—not the parking lot.

If you’re driving, general parking costs range between around $30 and $37, with valet and preferred parking upgrades available for an additional fee. Arrive early—especially on peak October weekends—as lots fill quickly. From the toll booths, expect a 5- to 10-minute walk to the front gate. Season pass holders and guests booking through Tripster hotel packages often enjoy free or discounted parking perks.
