Spooky Halloween activities in Templin: fun for the whole family!

The countdown to Halloween is on, and all the little ghosts, monsters and vampires in Cologne have an exciting weekend ahead of them. On October 31, 2025, the city will be peppered with numerous events that will captivate families and children. The autumn season, marked by pumpkins and spooky stories, highlights a part of the tradition whose origins go back to the ancient Celtic harvest festivals. Samhain is often mentioned here, a festival that focuses on the connections between the living and the dead bibleinfo.com summarizes.

There are various family events in Cologne that perfectly capture the spooky feeling. In the Multicultural Center (MKC) in Templin, for example, a children's film called “Everything Full of Monsters” is shown in the afternoon. In addition, the little ones can let their creativity run wild with face painting and transform themselves into scary characters - from vampires to pumpkins to monsters and spiders. The spooky adventure begins here at 3 p.m. and the skilled hands of the make-up artists are ready from 1:30 p.m nordkurier.de reported.

Action days and costume competitions

For particularly adventurous kids, there are “Kids Halloween Days” in the western town of El Dorado. From October 30th to November 1st, daily from 10 a.m., little visitors can look forward to costume competitions and family-friendly haunted areas. The offer is rounded off by spectacular show and walk acts, in which the team from the stunt crew and show group “Hammerfrauch” from Berlin is also involved. So the excitement is guaranteed here!

If you don't just want to be spooky, but also want to enjoy yourself, then the Halloween party in the seaside resort of Prenzlau is the right place for you. It starts at 5 p.m. with illuminated gardens, spooky decorations and terrible characters that bring the themed gardens to life. Here, a barbecue stand from “Semper Roma” ensures your physical well-being and those who would like to snack on something sweet can look forward to stick cakes around the campfire.

Traditions and new customs

Another highlight is the Halloween fun in the Templin Citizens Garden, which starts at 4 p.m. The program here includes skill competitions, face painting and pumpkin carving, as well as delicious bratwursts and refreshing drinks. These child-friendly attractions have been an integral part of the region's autumn events for years.

The traditional image of Halloween is further enlivened by the numerous activities and festivals. People dress to drive away the spirits of Advent that originally feared Samhain. Practices such as exchanging sweets, or trick-or-treating, result from the ancient custom of praying for the souls of the deceased. These roots make it clear that many Halloween traditions have a long history and deep cultural background, as shown on bibleinfo.com can be read.

At this time of year, when the days are getting shorter and the leaves are falling, the signs point to social gatherings and happy celebrations. Whether through spooky costumes, eerie decorations or the anticipation of collecting candy – Halloween is a festival that brings many happy moments, especially to children. From vampire discos to storytelling evenings, the region promises exciting events until the end of the month.
