Autumn and cultural events in Germany and Netherlands
Overview
In October 2026, seasonal and cultural activities continue across Germany and the Netherlands. In Germany, regional highlights include autumn markets, historical livestock blessings, and themed Halloween celebrations. Theme parks such as Europa-Park and Toverland host seasonal festivities. In Baden-Württemberg, Europa-Park is hosting its ‘Traumatica’ horror event alongside seasonal pumpkin displays. The park’s Halloween season, running through November 1, features approximately 180,000 pumpkins and a new ‘Pumpkin Village’. The horror-focused Traumatica event includes eight scare attractions, such as an immersive experience titled ‘The Hotel’ and a show called ‘The Dark Wedding’. In Durmersheim, the Halloween Horror Nights festival at the Koffler strawberry plantations features a weather-resistant themed maze titled ‘Project Strawberry’. In the Netherlands, Toverland offers Halloween Days and specialized Halloween Nights for older visitors. Halloween-themed festivities are widespread. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the ZOOM Erlebniswelt zoo in Gelsenkirchen and a Halloween Run in Duisburg offer seasonal activities. In Lower Saxony, Goslar provides children's parties and a horror garden at Brunnengarten, while Braunschweig hosts adult parties and themed sauna experiences. In Rhineland-Palatinate, visitors can explore ‘lost places’ such as ruins in Schafhof or abandoned military sites in Fischbach bei Dahn. Other celebrations include themed tours in Donauwörth, club nights in Frankenthal, and parties in Nuremberg and Cologne. Community activities include organized lantern processions (Laternenumzüge). In Maschen, the volunteer fire department has scheduled a procession for October 30, starting at the village square. In Sadenbeck, the city of Pritzwalk and the association Kulturquelle Sadenbeck will host a parade on November 18, featuring music from the Spielmannszug Pritzwalk 1961. Major markets remain active. In Munich, the Auer Dult at Mariahilfplatz features approximately 250 stalls. In Kassel, the Casseler Herbst-Freyheit includes a city fair and flea market. Numerous flea markets are also scheduled for late October in Aachen, Cologne, and Düsseldorf.
