This year, Madrid proves once again: Halloween night isn’t just an excuse for costumes, but a true kaleidoscope of experiences. The city offers three completely different options for those seeking an unforgettable October 31. There’s something for everyone here—from dancing among witches, to a Mexican-themed dinner, or a musical evening in a historic palace.
A party of mystique and dance
Right in the heart of the capital, at Círculo de Bellas Artes, a real mystical show unfolds after sunset. The venue transforms into the epicenter of a celebration where city spirits, witches, and enigmatic characters gather. DJs keep the atmosphere alive by blending afrobeats, electronic cumbia, and eclectic rhythms, creating a soundtrack for dancing until dawn. The evening features not only music, but also performances, visual installations, and tarot readings. Organizers promise no one will be bored: every guest will feel part of the magic. Entry starts at €25.
A Mexican dinner with mariachi and vibrant cocktails
Foodies seeking new culinary experiences should check out Sessions restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel Madrid. Here, Halloween is celebrated in the style of Mexico’s Day of the Dead: the hall is decorated with flowers, tables are set with dishes featuring national flavors, and the evening kicks off with a parade of skeletons and Catrinas. Guests can look forward to rock-n-roll-inspired cuisine — from juicy steaks to tempura fish and burgers on black buns. Special attention is given to desserts and signature tequila-based cocktails. Live music plays throughout the night, creating a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. This option is ideal for those who want festive fun without the scares, but with plenty of color and excitement. Dinner price — 45 euros.
Candlelit Concert and Dinner in a Historic Palace
For those looking for a more refined and tranquil way to celebrate Halloween, Cornamusa Cibeles restaurant at the Palacio de Cibeles has prepared a special program. The evening begins with a beer-based cocktail with floral notes, followed by a tasting menu with creative offerings: eel and carrot appetizers, Cadiz corvina with aromatic oil, and an unusual dessert featuring milk toast and violet ice cream. The experience is set to live performances of opera and fantastical pieces, with the hall lit only by candlelight. Organizers promise an atmosphere of mystery and elegance. Average price — 60 euros.
Once again, Madrid proves that even borrowed traditions can truly become its own. This Halloween, everyone can choose their way to celebrate—from a lively party to an intimate dinner. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment and to allow yourself a bit of magic on the most mysterious night of the year.
