Halloween Events & Parties in Paris 2026: Where Locals and Expats Go
Paris may not celebrate Halloween quite like New York or London, but that doesn't mean the city goes quiet on October 31. Quite the opposite. In 2026, Paris and the surrounding areas have everything from enormous Halloween festivals and costume parties to elegant masked balls, immersive experiences, family events, and late-night club nights. So if you're going to be in Paris for Halloween, where should you actually go? We've rounded up some of the most interesting options for 2026, whether you're looking for a big party, something unusual, or a Halloween experience that works for the whole family.
1. Monsterdom Halloween at Dock B
- 📅 October 31, 2026
- 📍 Dock B, Pantin
- 🕚 11 PM–6 AM If you're looking for a serious Halloween night out, Monsterdom is one to know about. The 2026 edition features two dance floors, seven DJs and a costume competition, with categories including Creepy, Celebrity, Comedy and Couture. Costumes are mandatory, with an intentionally over-the-top American-style Halloween theme.
The event describes itself as queer, flamboyant and inclusive, making it particularly interesting for travelers looking for a more alternative Paris nightlife experience. You can check out all the official information here.
2. The Ball of the Revenants at Hôtel de la Marine
- 📅 October 30, 2026
- 📍 Hôtel de la Marine, Place de la Concorde
Want something a little more elegant? The Bal des Revenants turns Halloween into a historic ballroom experience. Instead of DJs and nightclub energy, guests can dance in the surroundings of the Hôtel de la Marine to historic-inspired music, including waltzes, quadrilles, polkas and minuets. It's basically Halloween with a very Parisian twist: less haunted club, more ghosts at a grand ball. You can check all the information here.
3. Halloween at La Rotonde Stalingrad
- 📅 October 31, 2026
- 📍 La Rotonde Stalingrad, 19th arrondissement
- 🕕 6–10 PM
For something more cultural and socially conscious, La Rotonde Stalingrad is hosting a Halloween event organized by En Avant Toute(s) and featuring the Cabaret du Prisme. The event combines Halloween entertainment with a social mission, with proceeds going toward work addressing gender-based violence and promoting gender equality.
Best for: visitors looking for an evening event with a social and cultural angle.
4. Disneyland Paris Halloween Festival
- 📅 September 26–November 1, 2026
- 📍 Disneyland Paris
If you're after maximum Halloween atmosphere, this is the obvious big one. The Disneyland Paris Halloween Festival runs for more than a month, with themed entertainment, decorations, characters and seasonal experiences. It's not exactly a hidden local secret. But if you're traveling with children, or simply want the full Halloween fantasy, it's difficult to ignore. You can check out ticketing information here.
Best for: families, Disney fans and visitors who want an all-out Halloween experience.
5. Halloween at Parc Astérix
- 📅 October 3–November 8, 2026
- 📍 Parc Astérix, outside Paris
Another option outside central Paris is Peur sur le Parc at Parc Astérix. The 2026 edition includes haunted areas, spooky scenes and a new haunted forest experience called La Forêt sans Retour. It's a completely different experience from wandering around Paris at night, but a good option if you're looking for actual scares. Check all the information here for a new experience! You can also check the ticket options here.
Best for: thrill-seekers and families with older children.
6. Halloween Murder Party at the Air & Space Museum
- 📅 October 31, 2026
- 📍 Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, Le Bourget
- 🕖 7–11 PM
This one is for people who would rather solve a mystery than dance all night. For Halloween, the Air and Space Museum becomes the scene of a fictional murder investigation. Participants work in teams to investigate the mysterious death of a pilot while surrounded by the museum's historic aircraft and collections. It's a particularly unusual but unforgettable way to spend Halloween. Feel free to check out all the information here.
7. Halloween at the Eiffel Tower
- 📅 Autumn 2026
- 📍 Eiffel Tower, 1st floor
Even the Eiffel Tower gets into the Halloween mood. The tower's Bulle d'Automne transforms the first floor into an immersive autumn-themed space during the school holidays, with games and activities. There's also a special Halloween event called Beau Frisson. It's a particularly good option if you're traveling with children but still want to keep the experience distinctly Parisian.
Best for: families and first-time visitors.
8. A More Cultural Halloween
Not every Halloween experience has to involve a nightclub. Paris also hosts Halloween-themed cinema, storytelling and cultural events. For example, the Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé is presenting L'Horrible Petit Cinématographe, combining silent film, fantasy and live musical accompaniment. And if you're traveling with younger children, the Bibliothèque Maurice Genevoix is hosting a free Halloween afternoon tea with spooky stories and treats on October 31.
Best for: families, film lovers and travelers who prefer culture to nightlife.
