Pumpkin carving, costume competition, a “magic plant laboratory,” eyeball races, pumpkin bocce, an indoor horror forest… it goes on. If the above is all too adult for you, wait until Sunday afternoon, when the Berlin Botanical Gardens host a Halloween programme with a never-ending list of not-so-scary activities for the whole family. So take the time to get your freak on, but arrive early since tickets are only sold at the door. They’re taking costumes seriously: you won’t get in without one.
The party will continue until noon the following day featuring Umami (Katermukke), Karel Nine and Liam Lindberg as part of the lineup.
But if you start to feel claustrophobic, there’s also a huge outdoor garden to get some fresh air. The horror-themed venue boasts a bunker-style setting with tunnels, vaults and an underground labyrinth of corridors. If location is key, then hit up the Horror Warehouse party in the basement of a former freight depot in Moabit. Buy your tickets in advance as there are only a limited number left at €12. The lineup includes Daniel Jaeger, David Roeglin and Sauchelli, and if you need a dance break from the four floors blasting house, pop, hip-hop and techno, you can visit the “Dark Room Walk” or view the horror-themed art exhibition and live artist performances. The atmospheric Commie cinema is hosting a Halloween celebration called Horror, Art & Club, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

There’ll be dancing before, after and in between sets, and costumed guests will receive a free shot! Oct 29 12:00, Marie Antoinette, Mitteįor the buzziest event in town, head to Kino International. Six local bands take the stage to cover (and dress up as) the classics: Trucks will dance in the dark as Bruce Springsteen and Tendre Biche will take you under their umbrella as Rihanna. If indie and irony are your thing, The Chop’s Halloween Cover Band Show should be your top pick. After the band, show your costume off on the dance floor with the best of rock, punk, electro and new wave dished out by DJ The Shredder and Damon Zurawski. Dress up and pay only €8 (instead of €10) for burlesque troupe Heroine Artists’ Halloween Heroines party at Bassy, featuring a live performance by Berlin-based rock-punk-glam band Eat Lipstick. Saturday boasts an embarrassment of Halloween riches, many of which will ask you to fork over extra cash if you’re not suitably costumed. Guest performers are Mark Mauriello and Get Fucked favourite Ash Traylia. Whether you’ve donned your best slutty witch get up or are too damn lazy to get fashionably creepy, you’re welcome to grace the dance floor. On Friday, start this ghoulish, evil holiday right: G et F ucked! A special Halloween edition of Cafe Engels’ weekly drag party hosted by Olympia Bukkakis promises something “gross and aggressive” at Engels Bar in Neukölln this week. Get your costume sorted* and join the party…
