East Austin Halloween Market gives Central Machine Works a festive Thursday-night mix of local makers, vintage sellers, artists, and small businesses. Costumes and seasonal details add personality without turning the event into a haunted attraction, and the brewery setting makes it easy to pair browsing with food and drinks. Admission is free, the market runs outdoors from 6–10 p.m., and the changing vendor lineup rewards shoppers who prefer locally made discoveries over predictable retail.
