Intramuros hosts Intramumu in Manila from 31 October to 1 November 2026, bringing a Halloween party and run to Magallanes Drive. The official listing places the event inside the historic district and names the programme as Halloween Party and Run for your Life.
Intramumu brings Halloween activities to Magallanes Drive
The event is scheduled across 31 October and 1 November 2026. The official Intramumu listing identifies Magallanes Drive as the venue and gives the Intramuros Administration as the publishing custodian.
Programme details reported by GQ Philippines include horror attractions, spooky storytelling, costume and cosplay competitions, music, a battle of the bands and DJ competitions. The same report names Run For Your Life as a zombie run taking place on 1 November, making the event a mixture of street entertainment and organised running rather than a single performance.
The event gives the Manila district a specific Halloween programme during the 2026 visitor season. Its setting also connects contemporary entertainment with a place managed as a national historical and cultural heritage site.
The Halloween programme meets a heritage setting
Intramuros is administered by a national government agency attached to the Philippine Department of Tourism. The administration's stated mandate covers the orderly restoration and development of the district as a monument to the Hispanic period of Philippine history.
Its visitor guide says that the general appearance of the area is intended to conform to Philippine-Spanish architecture from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. That context matters for Intramumu: the Halloween programme is located at Magallanes Drive within a district whose streets, buildings and public spaces are managed as part of a protected historical environment.
The reported programme also uses forms of storytelling and performance that can sit alongside the district's existing cultural role. GQ Philippines lists horror and folklore activities as well as music and competitions, while the official event entry confirms the venue and two-day period. The two sources therefore place the entertainment programme at a clearly identified site rather than treating it as a general Manila event.
Magallanes Drive links the event to Manila's walled district
For visitors, the main practical distinction is between the event venue and the wider group of historic attractions in Intramuros. Magallanes Drive is the named location for Intramumu, while the administration's visitor information separately describes its responsibility for conservation and development across the district.
The event's announced content offers several different ways to take part. Visitors interested in performance can look for music and DJ competitions, those interested in costumes can follow the cosplay and costume programme, and those seeking a more active element can consider the Run For Your Life event on 1 November.
