‘Dark Harbor’ Halloween event returns to The Queen Mary this fall
After a four-year hiatus, the Dark Harbor Halloween event will return to the Queen Mary ship in Long Beach this fall. “The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor- The Spirits Rise” will debut on Sept. 30 and run select nights through Nov. 2.
“Dark Harbor has become an iconic part of our city’s Halloween celebrations, and we are excited to once again transform the Queen Mary into a haunted spectacle for scare-goers,” Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said at a kick-off event.
“Having brought in hundreds of thousands of visitors to Long Beach in years past, its return is another major step in the Queen Mary’s recovery and return to a premier tourist attraction.”

This year’s event will feature “haunted mazes, live entertainment, themed bars and lounges, experiences on-board the ship, festive eats and treats and, of course, the return of well-known icons like the Captain, Ringmaster and Scary Mary,” a news release said.
Additional announcements regarding the new surprises coming to the event will be shared in the coming months.
The Dark Harbor takeover at the Queen Mary originally ran from 2010 to 2019 but closed due to the pandemic. The ship eventually re-opened in 2023.
For the past two years, the site around the Queen Mary has been home to the Shaqtoberfest Halloween celebration.
Tickets for the Halloween event will go on sale later this summer. More information about the event can be found here.
