Halloween 2024: Global Events Kick Off with Thrilling Celebrations
This October, a botanical garden introduced a special trail that immerses visitors in the spirit of Halloween. The organizers, known for their popular Christmas events, have prepared a thrilling experience featuring vibrant illuminations, forest paths, and a fire garden. Guests can explore neon webs, giant spiders, and lurking ghosts while enjoying hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
The trail offers three sessions: a daytime slot (until 6:00 p.m.) suitable for younger children, a twilight session (6:00–7:30 p.m.) with heightened spookiness, and a night session (after 7:30 p.m.) for the bravest visitors. Guests are advised to book their time and entrance gate in advance, as ticket exchanges or refunds are not available. The last entry is at 8:30 p.m., and the garden closes at 10:00 p.m. Bicycles, scooters, and other vehicles, except for wheelchairs, are not permitted inside the garden.
This Halloween season, several exciting events are taking place worldwide, each offering a unique way to celebrate. In Los Angeles, Dallas, and Seattle, the House of Spirits immersive cocktail soirée is drawing attention with eerie storytelling, surreal performances, and elaborate settings inspired by cultural tales and hauntings. Guests can enjoy crafted cocktails and explore each venue’s haunting narrative at their own pace, making this experience perfect for those seeking a sophisticated, spooky night out.
Meanwhile, London is hosting several thematic events, including a Halloween takeover at the Natural History Museum with a silent disco and spooky tours. The Tower of London is also offering a historical twist with ghost tours running from October 26 to November 3. For those looking for something quirkier, the Twisted Circus Halloween Boat Party on the River Thames promises a night of music and theatrics as guests cruise the iconic waterway.
