Viersen is preparing for spooky and beautiful Halloween celebrations!
Halloween 2025 is fast approaching and the anticipation is palpable in Viersen. The streets are decorated with carved pumpkins and spooky decorations that transform the tranquil cityscape into a spooky setting. Again Rhenish mirrors reports, the region is preparing to create a true community experience with a variety of Halloween parties and events.
Special events and private parties
There is a colorful mix of large public events and creative private celebrations throughout Viersen. Citizens rely on individual horror scenarios that have special themes such as horror films, vampire soirées or zombie apocalypses. A dark color palette combined with artificial cobwebs and candlelight creates the right atmosphere. Interactive Halloween games for adults, including Mystery Shots and Roulette of Horrors, are also an important part of the celebration. The right beats are not neglected either, because music and suitable playlists are crucial for the mood.
Major events in Viersen 2025
A highlight will be the Halloween party at RKW Viersen, which has the motto “This is Halloween 11.0”. Here visitors can look forward to live music from three bands, with entry costing 20 euros. The KLJB Dülken and the Alte Fabrik Kaldenkirchen also offer DJ nights with an entrance fee of 15 euros each - perfect for shaking a leg. For those who prefer something more elegant, Halloween Casino Night could be the right choice, featuring themed decorations and classic table games.
A look beyond the city limits shows how diverse this festival is celebrated in North Rhine-Westphalia. In Gelsenkirchen, for example, scary events will take place in the Zoom Erlebniswelt on October 31st and November 1st, while the Graefenthal Monastery in Goch invites you to a Halloween night from 8 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. The Halloween Horror Festival at Movie Park Germany and the Blood Red Water Event at Vitusbad in Mönchengladbach are other popular venues for spooky festivities.
Most parties will take place on October 31st, for which early ticket booking is recommended. In cities such as Cologne, Bochum and Bonn, various events with different styles of music and prices are offered, so there is something for every preference.
Halloween: A festival with history
While spookiness is the main focus for many, Halloween also has deeper traditions. The Celts originally celebrated Samhain, a harvest festival when the souls of the dead returned to the living. These roots can still be felt today, even if the festival has taken on highly commercialized aspects. There used to be traditions like “souling,” where children would ask for soul cakes. However, a new generation of celebrations has shifted the focus to fun and community.
Nevertheless, there are also critical voices. Some see the spooky practices and customs of Halloween as a conflict with religious principles outlined in the Bible. The celebration is not directly mentioned, but it provides food for thought to turn away from dark works and focus on the positive aspects of life.
Whatever your opinion on Halloween, one thing is certain: there will be a lot of celebrations in Viersen this year! Visit the events, grab a spooky costume and enjoy the eerie atmosphere that has lost none of its appeal even after decades.
