How to make the most out of Halloween 2024 in Vienna

It’s pumpkin season in Vienna and, on the last weekend of the month, you can enjoy all the pumpkin you want at the Pumpkin Festival!

Now, we’re recommending this as we’ve heard from real Styrian people that this is one fun festival, so if it turns out to be crap, we can all throw pumpkins at these people together (which could be another idea for a festival).

Styrian producers will be selling their produce and goods, including wine and baked goods made out of those marvelous orange balls, and you can even carve up a pumpkin to take home for Halloween.

The music is typically…very Austrian at this event and plenty of that sweet, sweet Sturm is always flowing.

So, if you’ve always dreamed of a pumpkin tattoo or a little skull on your ankle, this Saturday will be your lucky day. Come and get your ink at the Halloween Flash Day!

Let the cute boys at this edition of KEN Club put you in just the right mood for Halloween. Get ready for a party spooky party inspired by the world of Stephen King. Boo!

Welcome to hell… it’s going to be just as hot and freaky as you expected. Oh, and be sure to dress up. Or not. It’s really up to you.

Prepare to have your bones rattled and your souls electrified! All 5 floors of O-Der Klub will be transformed into a ghoulish paradise. Come as your everyday self, or unveil your dark side in your most bewitching Halloween attire.

Miss trick-or-treating, which was a big deal in your country but isn’t really a thing in Vienna? The Vienna Family Network has you covered!

Here’s how it works: You can register as a Candy Giver and welcome little trick-or-treaters by providing your address along with clear instructions on how to reach your door. Alternatively, you can choose to be a Visitor and receive the map of participating apartments giving out treats the day before the event.

Register here.

If you’re feeling particularly posh this Halloween, try a drag Drag Show in one of Vienna’s most beautiful palaces. What? We said it was fancy!

If you’re in the mood for some haunting tunes and a line-up that’s bound to send chills down your spine, THE HIVE Halloween party is for you. So put on your best (or worst) costume and don’t miss out on this creepy occasion.

A couple of venues have been claiming to host the biggest Halloween party in Vienna, but in the case of Arena Wien, it might actually be true. It’s turning into a haunted circus on October 31st, complete with pop remixes, circuit house beats, and a drag show.

Oh! And if you show up in full costume or full drag, you’ll get a discount for the ticket.

This year, the Viper Room once again transforms into a dark castle, so we can turn into zombies, monsters, witches, and all the creatures haunting the night. Expect Gothic, Metal, and Electro music, along with tricks, treats, and a costume contest.

If you’re not into crazy disco zombie dances on Halloween, maybe swing by Café Landtmann on the 31st. There’ll still be a creepy vibe and a spooky DJ, but the clubbing will take place in a setting steeped in 150 years of history.
