Spooky adventures and festive celebrations: Halloween in Koblenz 2025!

On October 31st it's that time again: Halloween is just around the corner and the region around Koblenz offers numerous creative events for scary fans big and small. If you're in the mood for something spooky, the Middle Rhine region is the perfect place for you.

A special recommendation is the public city tour “Thieves, Crooks and Scoundrels”, which starts on October 31st at 6 p.m. at Florinsmarkt. This chilling tour takes you through the dark side of the city and highlights organized crime and torture methods of the 18th century. The tour lasts around 1.5 hours and costs 16 euros per person. The price for participants under 18 is 13.50 euros, which includes an eye-rolling schnapps for adults. If there is high demand, additional tours are offered at 8 and 10 p.m., reports SWR.

Family-friendly events and cool parties

For families, the Middle Rhine Museum Koblenz offers a flashlight tour that starts at 4 p.m. Things are similarly spooky in the Sayner Hut in Bendorf, where a flashlight tour is organized under the motto “Halloween at the Hut”. Children are also catered for in abundance in the Tolli Park in Mayen, which is open on October 31st from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and offers light installations and hands-on activities.

And what would Halloween be without the traditional parties? The “Halloween Circus” night starts at 9 p.m. at the Circus Maximus in Koblenz and features various parties. For night owls there is also the big Halloween party in Koblenz Castle, which opens at 10 p.m. Here you can party to the beats of the DJ duo Banks & Rawdriguez. Tickets are available in advance for 17 euros, with an additional advance booking fee of 1.50 euros. Things will also be fun in the Kulturscheune Lahnstein, which invites you to the “Over 30 Halloween Party” from 8 p.m., while the music casino Gambrinus in Höhr- Grenzhausen also invites you to the “Halloween Rock Night” from 7 p.m.

Scary food and spooky stories

Another highlight is the ghost festival at the Ehrenburg in Brodenbach on November 1st, which offers guided tours and hands-on activities. Animal lovers should also visit the Rheinböllen Zoo, where spooky feedings for the animals are on the program and a scary garden is available for just 1 euro per person. If you prefer something a little spookier, you can look forward to a Halloween maze in “Camp Westside” in Mudenbach, which is child-friendly from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and spooky from 8 p.m.

The police in Andernach have warned parents not to let their children appear in costumes with extremely realistic weapons at Halloween celebrations. This happened after an incident involving deceptively real dummy knives.

To make the highlight of Halloween night perfect, there are also tips for carving pumpkins. From the best tools to the best way to preserve vegetables, everything is explained. If you prefer it quiet, we recommend taking an evening walk along the Rhine or Moselle to enjoy the eerie atmosphere.

Halloween has become a staple of the season over the years. Originating from ancient Celtic harvest festivals such as Samhain, it brings people together to remember those who have died. Even though its roots are linked to a variety of legends and superstitions, its main purpose remains to honor the deceased, such as Bibleinfo mentioned in relation to Halloween. So, grab your ghost friends and enjoy the festivities!
