It is an all-ages event that aims to energize attendees with electronic music and an exciting atmosphere. The festival welcomes a diverse crowd ready to dance from the start until the doors close.

Announced so far: MPH, It’s Murph, skilah and twin diplomacy.

Everything happens at KEMBA Live! Outdoors, in Columbus. Columbus is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Haunted Fest Columbus keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Columbus are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Haunted Fest Columbus works out at roughly €911 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 5% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 12h 31m each way, at €815 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Haunted Fest Columbus are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Haunted Fest Columbus on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is KEMBA Live! Outdoors, in Columbus.
• Book a bed in Columbus early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
