San Antonio – Six Flags Fiesta Texas has unveiled its exciting plans for the fall season, featuring its annual Fright Fest and Oktoberfest events. Fright Fest will run from September 6 to November 2 on select nights, providing a thrilling experience for seasonal visitors. This year’s highlights include the return of the haunted doll Annabelle in the Conjuring Universe maze, alongside several new haunted mazes that promise to deliver spine-tingling entertainment.
The Fright Fest event will showcase new haunts such as SAW: Legacy of Terror, which draws inspiration from the popular horror film franchise. Other new maze experiences include Nosferatu, a tribute to classic silent films, Cinema Slasher focusing on iconic film villains, and Hexenhaus, which is themed around folk horror. The popular Conjuring Universe maze returns, along with other returning favorites like Twisted: Theater of Torment, presented by Skittles, featuring an immersive blend of puppetry and terror.
Guests will traverse through Scare Zones scattered throughout the park, including themed areas like Carnival of Terrors, Fear Acres, Wicked Hollow, Hell Valley Cemetery, Rockville Festival of Fright, and Steampunkins. In addition to the frightful mazes and scare zones, special live shows such as Crossroads, a musical performance with a Southern twist, and The Arrival, which introduces monsters in a fear-filled kickoff, will entertain visitors.
Not limited to spine-chilling experiences, Six Flags Fiesta Texas also offers a family-friendly daytime event called Tricks and Treats. This event runs on select days until 5 p.m. and features a trick-or-treat trail, a crafts corner, and character meet-and-greets, along with a new show spotlighting three Spectral Sisters.
In addition to Fright Fest, Six Flags Fiesta Texas will host Oktoberfest from September 6 to October 26. This festival will celebrate German culture and cuisine, featuring authentic German foods, craft beers, and traditional Bavarian live music. Guests can look forward to indulging in classic offerings such as bratwurst and German chocolate cake.
The park manager described this season as a bold new chapter for Six Flags Fiesta Texas, emphasizing the enhanced scares and immersive environments created for visitors. One admission ticket allows guests to enjoy all the various activities under the Fright Fest, Tricks and Treats, and Oktoberfest events.
Auditions for performances during Fright Fest will be held in June and July at the park in preparation for the busy fall season. In an exciting addition to the San Antonio area, Santikos Entertainment plans to open two new entertainment centers in late 2027 as part of a $60 million investment.
