Halloween, but different: Halloween Run Berlin

📍 Jungfernheide · 📅 31 Oct · 👟 about 500 m to 10 km · 🎟 depending on distance from about €12.90

People also search for “Halloween Berlin” when they are looking for a run – and there is a specific answer. Halloween Run Berlin starts in Jungfernheide on 31 October. Choose roughly 500 metres for Bambinis, 1.2 kilometres for school-age children, or 5 and 10 kilometres as a run or walk. The supporting programme begins at 4 pm; the Bambini run starts at 5:30 pm according to the organiser.

Costumes are part of the idea, but this is still a sporting event: suitable footwear, lights and a realistic assessment of your fitness matter more than a perfect latex mask. The organiser’s first price tier runs from €12.90 for the Bambini run to €34.90 for ten kilometres, with later prices increasing.

Halloween dinner in Berlin: NOCTARA, Oriental Gothic Fantasy Ball

📍 MADI – Zelt der Sinne · 📅 31 Oct, 6–11 pm · 🎟 about €119–149 · 🥂 show, buffet & costume ball

If you are searching for “Halloween dinner Berlin” or “Gothic ball Berlin”, NOCTARA is a counterpoint to the usual club night. The Oriental Gothic Fantasy Ball at MADI – Zelt der Sinne is announced for Saturday, 31 October, from 6 pm to 11 pm. According to the organiser information, show acts, a buffet with vegan and vegetarian options, plus beer, wine and soft drinks are included in the ticket.

It is the most expensive suggestion in this list: at the time of research, prices ranged from €119 to €149 depending on seat and tariff. It is aimed at guests who want costume, show and food as one complete format – not people who simply want two hours of dancing.

• For Brandenburg without a long journey: Oranienburg is easy; Babelsberg offers the stronger horror experience.
• For a more elegant evening: NOCTARA combines costume, show and dinner.
