A large festival in Bucharest, events for children, but also film screenings, and an art exhibition exploring characters such as vampires and werewolves – here is a selection of what is happening starting this weekend.
West Side Hallo Fest
October 25 to October 27
The second edition of the event returns to Lacul Morii Island, in Bucharest's District 6, with a program of concerts, workshops for children, live performances, and many other surprises. A 32,000 square meter area of the island will be divided into areas dedicated to children's workshops, activities organized by the partners, concerts, exhibitors, and the food area.
Thrill seekers can board the Ghost Ride bus, a house of ghosts of sorts. During the seven to ten minutes of the tour, guests will be treated to a terrifying welcome: ghosts and skeletons, talking paintings, lamps and candles that light up by themselves, and more. Throughout the three days, children can participate in free workshops covering pumpkin carving, painting tangerines, recycling, making masks, and more. More details here.
Night of the Witches @ Children's Opera
October 27 to October 28
Ghosts, witches, pirates, and other visions, some more strange than others, are ready to cheer everyone up at this event held in the Children's Comic Opera (OCC) courtyard. The characters of children's stories will arrive from across the seas and countries, dancing or singing, to introduce themselves to the little ones and urge them to discover their secrets. Details are available here.
Halloween workshops at Grigore Antipa Museum
October 31
The Grigore Antipa Museum of Natural History invites children to Halloween workshops where they can learn to carve pumpkins into unique decorative pieces. All the necessary materials are provided by the museum, and at the end, each young decorator will go home with a personalized creation. A free visit to the museum's permanent exhibition is included. The program is intended for children between the ages of 8 and 14. Further information
