Halloween Fun and Giant Pumpkins in Tivoli in Copenhagen

In 2006, Tivoli in Copenhagen set out to create the standard for Halloween celebrations in Denmark. With the fourth Halloween celebration at Tivoli coming up, this goal has been reached. Halloween in Tivoli (and in Denmark) is dominated, of course, by pumpkins, but also by traditional harvest paraphernalia, since we have moved the festival to coincide with the traditional autumn break in the Danish schools, from October 15 - 24, 2010.

The Gardens will be decorated with pumpkins, scarecrows and all the other trimmings required for creating the right Halloween atmosphere for the whole family.

Tivoli’s Halloween is based on the “horrific fun” principle, so even the youngest children can participate. Every day you can meet Tivoli’s witches and heroes (Petzi, Pierrot Harlequin and Columbine) on the Halloween Square by the Open Air Stage where the big mill is located and see them march through Tivoli with the Pumpkin Band (the Tivoli Boys Guard). At the square it will be possible to carve your own jack-o-lantern and buy sundry goodies. Tivoli’s rides will all be running.

The Magic Show featuring Tivoli’s witches is a programme event on the Open Air Stage, where their dance show is also staged.

The Danish Championships for Giant Pumpkins will take place at Tivoli on Saturday 16 October.

Children (max. 12. years) who feel like coming dressed up in a Halloween costume can participate in a contest to find the day’s funniest, best and wildest costume.

The entire programme of events for Halloween in Tivoli will be ready in late September here
