Need some advice for this year’s Halloween?
Change language:
This year, Halloween is different, the parties are smaller, and they end earlier. For sure, there will be a mask for everyone. Funzine has collected the best programs in Budapest for Halloween. There is a family event, quiz night, and a costume party as well.
Halloween Czakó Piacz
“Maybe Halloween is not the biggest holiday for Hungarians, but it is still an opportunity to celebrate, organise a program, and try on a new costume. That is why we decided with our producers that we have many surprises waiting for you. There will be pumpkin ravioli courtesy of Lashka pasta workshop, there will be pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin delicacies, surprises, raffles, and a Halloween menu in the Bistro,” writes Funzine.
Pumpkin carving-gardening with fairy tale heroes
“Our stories of the Fairytale Plants program aims to bring children closer to nature. Children learn playfully, unnoticed, through experiences of plants and wildlife. Gardening with your favourite fairy tale hero is a childhood experience you will always remember.”
Halloween Vegan Market and Unloading
“The Gates of Vegan Garden are reopening for treasure hunting. The Market offers vegan foods, detergents, soaps, custom t-shirts, belt bags, jewellery, houseplants, pots, and all kinds of beauties. We are waiting for you, your friends, and all those who are interested, and who have run out of quarantine supplies.”
Gozsdu Halloween 2020 – Come if you dare!
“If you are underage, face painting, mask making, pumpkin painting, costume competition, and other surprises await you from 11 am. If you are an adult, as soon as evening comes, we will be waiting for you from 6 pm in a special, creepy setting where anything can happen. Coming in a costume is highly recommended if you want to win a valuable gift. Come if you dare!”
Halloween Nightmare
“Dark hours are coming this Halloween. A group of terrifying figures thought to summon the true spirit of Halloween. A long and bumpy road leads to the final seance. Adventure with us in the maze of darkness, but remember, when you see the ghost, do not look back, just run!”
Halloween costume candy collection in Lurdy
“On the last day of October, the day of Halloween, we can start dressing up to collect sweets. That is exactly what will be the case in Lurdy. If you feel like hiding in a costume and visiting the Lurdy House to capture sugar, chocolate, and sweets, then this is the place for you.”
Your Halloween Story at the Hard Rock Hotel Budapest
“Are you ready for the scariest date of the year? Would you also meet scary ghosts on Halloween night? Join the haunting spirits at the most wicked party of the year. The Night of Witches and Ghosts is coming soon; do not miss the party of the year!”
The advice should be ‘don’t’. These tacky ‘frivolities’ are a ghastly American export that bear no meaning to the date. It was a pagan festival called ‘Sanheim’. It is supposed to be a night of introspection, not of sending children out begging and all the commercial rubbish that happens.
