Haunted Carnival is back at Armature Works this week, with a stadium-worthy lineup on the waterfront.<\/p>\n<p>Carnival fare also includes bumper cars, carnival games, food vendors and a children\u2019s zone with face painting and pumpkin decorating. The vibe switches from family-friendly fair to haunted rave each night starting Friday around 4 p.m. with DJ and EDM festival sets on the main stage.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Ross joins Steve Aoki onstage for Friday\u2019s headliner. Swedish dance-pop duo Galantis headline Saturday\u2019s set, which also includes a DJ set from the late Hulk Hogan\u2019s son, Nick Hogan. Sickick and Brice Vine finish off the celebration on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Parking is limited; ride-shares recommended. Carnival access is $10 and stage access tickets to hear the artists are anywhere from $30 to $133. Children under 3 enter free. VIP upgrades and reserved table options are also available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/community.cltampa.com\/event\/pied-pipers-haunted-carnival-20732751\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets start at $10 for Pied Piper\u2019s Haunted Carnival in Tampa on Thursday, Oct 23 and Friday, Oct 24.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/unation.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cltampa.com\/tampa\/NewsletterSignup\/Page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAiECLjru3gB6BLYKOKFLfkVZsqFAgKIhAi467t4AegS2CjihS35FWb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google News<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbreak.com\/@c\/1599764?s=01\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NewsBreak<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/CreativeLoafingTampa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cltampabay\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cltampabay\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/cltampabay.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BlueSky<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recent Stories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cltampa.com\/music-2\/pied-pipers-haunted-carnival-brings-edm-stars-to-tampas-armature-works-this-weekend\/\" rel=\"bookmark nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dothis-sounds-spooky-co-Pied-Piper-Productions-102325-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-newspack-article-block-landscape-large size-newspack-article-block-landscape-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pied Piper\u2019s Haunted Carnival brings EDM stars to Tampa\u2019s Armature Works this weekend\" data-hero-candidate=\"1\"   data-attachment-id=\"346210\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.cltampa.com\/music-2\/pied-pipers-haunted-carnival-brings-edm-stars-to-tampas-armature-works-this-weekend\/attachment\/dothis-sounds-spooky-co-pied-piper-productions-102325\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cltampa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dothis-sounds-spooky-co-Pied-Piper-Productions-102325-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1499&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1499\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dothis-sounds spooky-co Pied Piper Productions-102325\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The smoke cannons and light displays set the mood as the DJ commands the crowd at Pied Piper\u2019s Haunted Carnival.&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cltampa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dothis-sounds-spooky-co-Pied-Piper-Productions-102325-scaled.jpg?fit=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cltampa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dothis-sounds-spooky-co-Pied-Piper-Productions-102325-scaled.jpg?fit=780%2C456&amp;ssl=1\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tSteve Aoki &amp;
