Halloween festivities, traditionally associated with the United States and Europe, are increasingly becoming a fixture in Israel's event calendar. This year, with Halloween falling on Saturday, October 31st, various parties, fairs, and family activities inspired by the Western tradition are scheduled throughout the country. Israelis looking to participate will not need to travel abroad, as events catering to all ages are available from Jaffa Port to the Galilee, with some offering free admission and others requiring payment.
One notable event is "Trick or Treat - The Travelers' Night" at the Travelers Village on the Jordan hotel, part of the XTRA MILE community celebrations. Families will receive branded bags for collecting candy as they visit designated hotel rooms marked with special Halloween stickers. Following the candy collection, a nighttime flashlight tour in nature is planned. Guests are encouraged to wear costumes, with prizes for the most outstanding ones.
Haifa is also joining the celebrations with the DRIX Halloween Market at DRIX Cafe Games. This two-story market will feature local artists and creators selling Halloween and fantasy-themed items, including jewelry, costumes, accessories, and handmade goods. Pizza and draft beer will also be available. The event is open to all ages and admission is free.
Jaffa Port is offering free family-friendly Halloween activities throughout October, with a main event on Saturday, October 31st, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Container House. This celebration includes a costume party with DJ Ronen Nakash, a costume contest, face painting and temporary tattoo stations, craft workshops, photo booths, and a potion stand. While the main party is free, some workshops and shows may require advance registration and payment.
Adults can also join the festivities with Halloween costume parties planned in Tel Aviv clubs and bars from Thursday, October 29th, to Saturday, October 31st. These events will feature themed parties, pop music nights, and club events combining dancing, music, and horror-themed costumes. Some parties are for adults only and require advance ticket purchase, with attendees advised to check entry requirements and times beforehand. Costumes ranging from vampires and skeletons to characters from horror films and fantasy worlds are expected.
