October 26, 20252 min read

If you’re plotting the ultimate Halloween on Long Island, there’s only one destination that’s owned Oct. 31 for generations: Mulcahy’s. The Wantagh institution has been the go-to spot for Halloween for decades—packing the dance floor, leveling up the costumes, and turning spooky season into a full-scale spectacle. And this year, our very own WLIT DJ Neil C is headlining the madness.

Why Mulcahy’s Halloween Is Different

Mulcahy’s didn’t become the Halloween headquarters by accident. The room is built for big nights—pro sound, intelligent lighting, fast bars, and a crowd that shows up in serious costume. The energy hits early and doesn’t let up until the last track drops.

With DJ Neil C leading the charge, expect a high-octane mix that swings from throwback bangers to current club heaters, with plenty of surprise edits that keep the floor packed. If you’re in it for the photos, the costumes here set the bar—think cinematic, over-the-top, and ridiculously creative.

What to Expect

  • Wall-to-wall dance floor: Peak Halloween party vibes, start to finish.

  • Open bar window: Two hours to fuel up and mingle—arrive before 9 to beat the rush.

  • Big-money costumes: If you’re competing, build something bold, mobile, and dance-proof.

  • All treats, no tricks: Food included during the open-bar window to keep you going.

Pro Tips for the Night

  • Arrive early. The open-bar line moves fast at 9; being inside by 8:30 makes all the difference.

  • Think movement. Judges love detail, but the best costumes can dance.

  • Plan your ride. Parking fills; rideshare or the LIRR (Wantagh) keeps it simple.

  • Bring ID and a card. It’s 21+; most extras are cashless-friendly.

Bottom Line

From legendary costume showdowns to dance-till-close sets, Mulcahy’s has defined Halloween on Long Island for decades—and 2025 is shaping up to be its biggest yet. With WLIT’s DJ Neil C at the helm, this is the party you’ll be talking about till Thanksgiving.
