Guides › Halloween
Santiago de Compostela does Halloween properly: haunted houses that actually scare you, pumpkin patches worth the drive, and trick-or-treat streets the kids talk about all year. Here's what's on — confirmed dates first, then the annual traditions to watch for.
These happen every year; exact dates are announced closer to the day.
Dates TBA (Final week of October annually, around 31 October; children's Halloween costume parade contest at 19:00 on the centre's second floor, plus Club de Celi shows, spooky-magic performances, face-painting workshops and a grand Halloween party with costume parade, trick-or-treat and mobile disco) · Centro Comercial As Cancelas - Halloween
