With references to paganism and fairytales of old, Halloween is a celebration, observed in a number of countries, on 31 October, the feast of All Hallows’ Day. The celebration begins at the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, a time dedicated to remembering the dead. The feast comes in many forms and styles, depending on the country, offering plenty of opportunities for different kinds of experiences for the discerning traveler.
At London, our second city, the period of the Halloween is considered among the most prominent periods to visit the British capital. London is known to be very busy during October, when everyone returns to the city and the west end is booming with glamorous events and a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. Only 5 hours flight away, the New York City is said to boost the most impressive Halloween celebrations with countless of extravagant events taking place in numerous nightclubs.
Spooky events at Central Park? Check! Independent Horror Film viewing? Check! Costume parties like there is no tomorrow? Check, check, check!
But what about those looking to enjoy a more intercultural experience during Halloween? The Día de los Muertos, also known as the “Day of the Dead” is a widely known celebration, that takes place almost simultaneously with Halloween at the central and southern parts of Mexico. An UNESCO recognized event, Día de los Muertos is the perfect opportunity to experience and explore the most bizzare parts of a country where the extravagant is often common.
And even though our main country: Greece, is not accustomed to Halloween events & costumes, there will most certainly be a small presence of events taking place on the Greek capital!
