How to make the most out of Halloween 2023 in Vienna

For the sweetest and scariest pumpkins

Kürbisbauernmarkt am Himmel

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.

For the kinky creatures

Das Werk Party: WIEN IN SCHWARZ

If you are feeling adventurous this Halloween season, Das Werk presents the spookiest, kinkiest Halloween bash for every soul and spirit out there. If doms, subs, pups, and kittens are more your cup of tea than ghouls, vampires, and zombies, then this is the right party for you.

For the fancy phantasms

SISSI’S HALLOWEEN DINNER at Café Residenz in Schönbrunn Palace

If you’re feeling particularly posh this Halloween, try a drag theatre experience paired with a 3-course dinner in a beautiful palace. What? We said it was fancy!

Slay!

Gayloween x Titti Titti Bang Bang

The Loft is throwing the gayest pre-Halloween party and we’re here for it. Three floors, Cool DJs, comedy that’ll make your ribs hurt (including some stand-up from the funny guy Roman Bruckner) , and enough glitter to make a disco ball jealous.

We have it on good authority that the stand-up act is gonna be Howl-arious. So we strongly recommend this event!

For all you moonlight bathers and sunlight haters

Weberknecht wird schwarz

It’s getting dark this Saturday, and the nightly air is spreading avant-garde vibes. And you know what that means…yes, the Weberknecht is going to host a dark-themed night, inviting all Goth, Dark Elektro and Avantgarde Fans to join them in their celebration of darkness.

For the creepy dolls

Hallowien Funhouse @ Ken Club

Let the cute boys at this edition of KEN Club put you in just the right mood for Halloween. Get ready for a spooky glow-up with the drag-icon BAMBI MERCURY, gracing Vienna with her dazzling presence straight from Berlin!

For the thrill-seekers and the daredevils

Halloween im Wiener Prater

Every Halloween, Wiener Prater hosts a grand event packed with activities for ghouls and monsters of all kinds. While the little goblins partake in Children’s Halloween celebrations, the adults show off their unique outfits in a costume parade, ride the Geisterschloss, or indulge in some frightfully delicious snacks. Plus, the Liliputbahn transforms into the Ghost Train for the occasion.

Browse the full program, swipe on some black lipstick (okay, that’s optional!), and immerse yourself in the spooktacular festivities of this macabre holiday!

For the raving vampires

Halloween Party at O-Der Klub

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

For the twirling werewolves

Rooftop Halloween Party at Zoku

Zoku hotel is throwing a rooftop Halloween party featuring Pablo Pisano’s haunted pizzas and live music by Of Blonde. And don’t miss out on showcasing your best Halloween attire – there’s a prize for the standout costume.

For the dancing monsters

U4 Halloween Party

This Halloween at U4, you’ll get the ultimate monster mash of all their regular event series. Huge decorations, bloody welcome shots, special Halloween cocktails, and a chance to make out with a zombie in a dark corner.

For the sexy devils

Halloween Party in Prater DOME Vienna

Welcome to hell… it’s hot and pretty freak, but you’ll at least get your money’s worth, after all Praterdome promises the biggest Halloween Party of Vienna. If you go there, let us know if they were right!

Oh, and there’s gonna be a costume contest. So, be sure to dress up. Or not. It’s up to you, really.

For the cool skeletons

THE HIVE Halloween Party

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.

For the very lively living dead

Halloween Party | A-Danceclub

Like many other clubs in town, the A-Danceclub also has a big Halloween party in store for you. You know the drill: put on your spookiest attire, grab your friends and let loose. By the way, if you show up in a full costume, a free drink is yours. Don’t miss the chance to flaunt that yeti look!

For the boogieing banshees

Halloween x Volksgarten

We know what you did last Halloween, and you will do it again (we are only quoting Volksgarten, here). A big Volksgarten Halloween special will be happening on three floors at this beloved clubbing location. You can expect the usual Volksgarten stuff, but scarier. Dress up if you want to have some real fun!

 

For the notorious nosferatu

Wolfram | Halloween 2023

The Grelle Forelle is hosting a Halloween Party! Now that is something exciting. SO if you’re one of those Grelle Forelle people (you know who you are) then put in those vampire fangs and party with live-act Wolfram ’til the zombies come out!

For the wobbly witches

Halloween feat. Scheibosan

Mon Ami club is also turning into a horror chamber on October 31st. Swing by early for ghoulish makeovers by Lua Mua. Eerie beats by Scheibosan, Ralf Jakob, and Thomas Baniata.

For the hungry haunts

Halloween Horror Night @ KLYO Wien

What kind of meal do you have on the spookiest day of the year? Right, a spooky one! So that’s exactly what you’ll get at KLYO this Halloween. You’ll be served with three courses of the spookiest food the chefs could think of and there’s even gonna be a cool (and obviously also spooky) party afterwards!

For the zombies zooming to Techno

Vienn_a_Tek VS. Teknodrome – Halloween Special 

If you’re looking for a Techno experience that’ll keep you on your feet all night and make you wonder ‘what the hell happened last night?’ then this event is just for you. The Halloween party at Fluc is a guaranteed a scary experience – but in a good way – we guess. If you’re into techno and stuff, obviously.

For the thirsty goblins and ghostly ravers

Halloween Rave @ Ottakringer Brewery

Vienna’s famed Ottakringer brewery isn’t brewing beer this Halloween – it’s brewing CHILLS! For one night, it will turn into a 3-story ghost castle. So grab the quirkiest costume you can find and get ready to rave Vienna-style.
