The best Halloween parties in Vienna

On the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day, Vienna turns into the party city. The Halloween night is when all the hell breaks loose, and the entire city gets crazy and spooky. Everywhere on the street you can see vampires, witches, Draculas, zombies roaming around like in the newest episode of “The walking dead”. It is hard not to join the freaky crowd and become a part of the atmosphere. The city offers so many different events, where you can express your inner zombie. There are parties, scary events, disco nights on every corner, but also children friendly programs or culinary evenings. Let me introduce you to some of the best Halloween parties in the city, which became more or less traditional.

The Scary Fest in Ottakringer Brewery

One of the biggest party locations in Vienna is situated in the famous Ottakringer Brewery in the 16th district, the cradle of Vienna’s beer Ottakringer beer. Every Halloween for the past 8 years, the Scary Fest takes place right here. The big party for 3000 people, on 5 floors with different music and themes, starts at 9 p.m. The Scary Fest is the ultimate Halloween party in the city. The dress code is chic & dangerous; however, don’t overdo it, because you have to make sure that the staff of the event can recognize your face.
