Located in Paris La Défense in the Hauts-de-Seine department, the Zoo Art Show transforms its immersive urban art exhibition into a veritable Halloween playground. With 5 floors of street art by over 500 international artists, plus special All Hallows' Eve events, the experience promises to be as chilling as it is artistic. The ephemeral museum, which has been housed in the Maison de La Défense building since June 2025, is betting on an original program to attract families during the autumn school vacations. The urbex atmosphere of the vandal squat on the 5th floor takes on a whole new dimension when pumpkins, cobwebs and nocturnal tours are added.
From October 18 to November 2, 2025, the Zoo Art Show offers a freaky atmosphere that perfectly matches the spirit of the premises. Halloween activities include a make-up stand where visitors can transform themselves into spooky creatures, creative workshops for children and adults alike, and above all, a candy hunt that lets visitors explore the 4 exhibition floors from a whole new angle. The more adventurous can also take part in torchlight tours, an original way of rediscovering monumental graffiti and immersive installations in the dark. Between the tags of the Vandal Squat on the 5th floor and the works of Banksy, JonOne and Invader exhibited in the Art Show on the 2nd floor, nocturnal exploration promises tenfold sensations.
But the highlight of this period is undoubtedly the urban cabaret for Halloween on October 31, 2025. The first edition of this event concocted by DJ Dino, the evening features exhibitions and showcases, crazy intermissions with sound, graffiti, stand-up, dance, skills and rides. Not forgetting food, a bar and a big dose of good humor. A unique show that blends urban culture and Halloween spirit in an original format where artistic disciplines intersect. Places are limited and tickets are available on the official Zoo Art Show website. An evening not to be missed if you want to experience Halloween in a different way, far from the beaten track.
On October 16, 2025, the Zoo Art Show also features an urbex nocturne from 7pm to 11pm. The exhibition is revealed from a new angle, with all lights off, in an atmosphere reminiscent of urban exploration. This nocturnal visit unveils spectacular views of the Parvis de La Défense and increases the sensations tenfold. The evening program includes a lounge, digital graffiti and a DJ set at the end of the tour. The single ticket price is 15 euros, and places are limited.
Beyond the Halloween period, the Zoo Art Show continues its rich program of events throughout the autumn. From October 13 to 17, 2025, Nuno Viegas, the new Portuguese street art sensation, takes up residence. The artist will create a fresco in the street art maze and meet the public. Then, from November 7 to 11, it's the turn of Sonic, the pioneer turned star of the New York graffiti scene, to take up residence thanks to Wallworks. He will present an exclusive showing of his latest works, host a masterclass and chat with visitors.
Since October 13, urban art fans have also been able to discover the artists' boutique, offering a selection of original works and related products. A great opportunity to take home a piece of this unique immersive experience.

La Tanière by 8.6, located on the 2nd floor, offers drinks and snacks, as well as the chance to try your hand at digital graffiti and enjoy DJ Dino's live mixes on weekends.
