Halle Saale celebrates a magnificent festival of lights and exciting events!

An exciting weekend is coming up in Halle (Saale)! On November 1st and 2nd, 2025, citizens can expect an exciting program with a variety of activities and events that offer something for every taste. Saturday starts early at 9 a.m. with a flea market in the fair, where precious treasures and bargains await buyers.

The Festival of Lights on the market square opens its doors at 10 a.m. Here visitors can enjoy the hustle and bustle while the science market for the silver salt festival takes place in the cultural department store at the same location. Model railway fans will get their money's worth at the model railway exhibition on Unstrutstrasse between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Halloween fun and celebrations

The Halloween party at the Hallesche Workshops for the Disabled at 5:30 p.m. on Blumenauweg provides spooky entertainment with an exciting “murder course”. An impressive lantern parade starts at 6 p.m. from the main train station to the market, followed by the laser show at 7 p.m., which spectacularly rounds off the festival of lights.

After a long day of action, night owls can head to the over-30s singles party at Aurum Club at 8 p.m. or dance away at the “Waka Waka” 2010 party at Club Drushba, which lasts until 11 p.m. On Sunday there will be another flea market and a children's clothing exchange starting at 9 a.m.

Cultural highlights and events

An exhibition opening in the Passendorf Church at 10:15 a.m. brings art lovers together, while a guided excursion to the kingdom of mushrooms at 11 a.m. in the Franzigmark Environmental Center invites families to discover. The Red Ochse Memorial opened its doors on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and offers a deep insight into the city's history.

The afternoon has even more surprises in store: an Armenian game afternoon will take place in the city museum from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Children can also let off steam at the Halloween children's disco in the Palette dance bar at 2 p.m. A very special highlight is the 1st Halle Senior Citizens' Ball at 3 p.m. in the Steintor Varieté, which offers older citizens the opportunity to dance and celebrate.

And for those interested in the spiritual side of culture, there will be a museum sermon in the Moritzburg at 4:15 p.m. On the evening of November 2nd, guests can expect a celebratory finale: at 5:30 p.m. an impressive light sculpture will be staged on the market square, followed by a fireworks display that will bring the day to a fitting end.

As we look ahead to the celebrations, the question arises as to how prepared we are for unexpected situations. In this context, users report on their experiences with health applications. A common complaint concerns the difficulty of renewing the health card after loss. One user described how he received quick support from the bank when he lost his wallet, but ran into various problems when he lost his health card. A certain degree of dissatisfaction about communication difficulties and delays is inevitable. You can find out more about this in a report by Amelie.

Of course, there are also shocking series that make us think. An example of this is the popular series “ You," which captivates us through the complex themes of obsession and social media. The series has achieved high viewership over the years and sparked some discussions about the morals of its protagonists. We can soon look forward to the final fifth season, which will be released in April 2025.

Overall, the weekend in Halle (Saale) offers an exciting mix of culture, entertainment and thoughtful moments. Whether you're dawdling, partying or enjoying art and history - there's something for everyone here!
