Halloween in Leipzig - scary factor guaranteed!

Top highlight
25/09/2025
Just before Halloween, there is once again a lot going on in Leipzig city center! Hustle and bustle in front of the main station, traffic is at a standstill - Frankenstein's monster has lost his new arm in the middle of the Goerdelerring again. And while the Headless Horseman tries to set new records at the Scheibenholz racecourse, Dracula arrives at the university hospital's blood bank in time for happy hour to get some blood reserves!

So it's time to put work to one side, put your everyday life on hold and tickle the sweet, lovely or creepy monster inside you! Today we'll show you where you can let your inner werewolf howl this year at Halloween in Leipzig. When we finally lift the dusty curtain, there will be a creepy event for everyone - for the little ones and for the party monsters anyway.

Halloween cuter than ever - for the whole family

From October 31 to November 2, the "Días de los animales Muertos" will be celebrated here.

Kids can also take part in the "How heavy is our giant pumpkin" guess and win great surprises!
