Halloween 2026 in El Puerto de Santa María: Where to Go Out
Updated:
Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday, 31 October, so the big night out in El Puerto de Santa María will be that Saturday, with Friday the 30th as the warm-up. This guide is honest about where things stand: on 11 October, none of the clubs in town had published its Halloween party yet. What we can tell you is which clubs are open that weekend, based on what each one says about its days, and how to be ready when the line-ups come out. We'll update this page as soon as they do.
What's confirmed so far
As of 11 October 2026: no Halloween party announced by any club in El Puerto on its Instagram, and no 2026 municipal Halloween programme published yet. What is confirmed is the regular calendar of each venue, and that's enough to plan. The two nights to watch are Friday 30 October and Saturday 31 October. Clubs usually announce special nights a week or two in advance, so the second half of October is when the line-ups should start appearing.
Which clubs open that weekend
Going by what each venue publishes about its opening days, this is the picture for the Halloween weekend. Banana says in its bio that it opens every day, and its Friday is El Eskakeo. Gold opens on Fridays and Saturdays. La Cristalera, by the Guadalete, opens Fridays and Saturdays, and La Cristalera Vistahermosa opens Thursday to Saturday, so Thursday the 29th is an option there too. Guateque is open this season and posts every week; its exact dates appear in the calendar on its page.
| Venue | Type | Area | Fri 30 Oct | Sat 31 Oct |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banana | Nightclub | Ribera del Marisco | Yes (El Eskakeo) | Yes |
| Guateque | Nightclub | Centre | Check calendar | Check calendar |
| Gold | Nightclub | Micaela Aramburu | Yes | Yes |
| La Cristalera | Pub-club | Riverside | Yes | Yes |
| La Cristalera VH | Pub-club | Vistahermosa | Yes | Yes |
| Padreo | Nightclub | Centre | Closed (seasonal) | Closed (seasonal) |
“Yes” in the table means that night falls within the days each venue says it opens; it doesn't mean a Halloween party is confirmed. Opening days can change for a special date, so check again closer to the weekend. Padreo, Grupo BanBan's seasonal club, says it opens in holiday periods and for special events, but its bio currently reads “temporarily closed” and it hasn't announced anything for Halloween.
Banana: Halloween on a Friday or a Saturday
Banana, on Ribera del Marisco, is the safest bet for a club that's open both nights, since its bio says it opens every day. Friday the 30th is El Eskakeo night, the party it launched on 25 September. Tickets are sold online and appear in the calendar on Banana's page here, and for a group you can ask us for a reservado on WhatsApp.

Guateque, Grupo BanBan's urban club on Plaza Juan de la Cosa, sells its tickets online: if it schedules a Halloween night, it will appear in the calendar on its page. Gold, on Avenida Micaela Aramburu, opens Friday and Saturday and offers VIP reservados; its programme usually comes out on Instagram a few days before, and you can ask us on WhatsApp for a table, the list or tickets. La Cristalera and La Cristalera Vistahermosa are pub-clubs rather than nightclubs, a good option if your group wants costumes and drinks without a big club door. La Cristalera has just brought its concerts back.

El Puerto's town hall puts on its own Halloween programme, and it's a good way to start the evening before the clubs open. The 2026 edition hasn't been published yet. For reference, in 2025 it ran from 28 October to 2 November and included an animatronics exhibition called Terror en el Monasterio at the Monasterio de la Victoria, a Halloween parade on the 31st from Plaza Isaac Peral to Bajada del Castillo, and an Oktoberfest with a Halloween party in Plaza del Castillo until one in the morning. If the 2026 programme follows a similar format, the parade ends right in the area where several clubs are.
No beach clubs this year
If you remember Halloween or late-season parties in Puerto Sherry, that option is gone for now. PhiPhi, Blu, Playa Canalla and Margarita have been closed since 6 July 2026, after the Port Authority refused to extend their authorisation. There's no confirmed reopening date. The night will happen in the centre and in Vistahermosa.

- Pick the night first. Saturday the 31st will be the busiest; Friday the 30th is usually easier to get into.
- Buy as soon as the party is announced. On special dates, the cheapest tickets go first and some nights sell out.
- Check the age limit on the ticket. Some parties in El Puerto set it at 18 and others higher, according to third-party guides.
- If the party asks for a costume, the poster will say so. If it doesn't, dress up anyway: it's Halloween.
- Bring your DNI or passport, and keep the QR open on your phone.
- Plan the way home. Taxis are in demand at closing time on a Saturday, so agree on a meeting point with your group.
We'll update this guide with every Halloween party in El Puerto as soon as the clubs publish them: name, night, venue and where to buy. Meanwhile, if you already know you want a table for your group on the 31st, message us on WhatsApp and we'll start looking now.
