Halloween at Budapest’s City Park Pumpkin Festival: 31 October–1 November 2026
Budapest’s City Park Pumpkin Festival ends with a Halloween-themed weekend on 31 October and 1 November 2026. At the City Park Ice Rink and Boating Lake, the autumn setting takes on a spookier mood, with witches, ghosts, atmospheric lights and Halloween surprises promised for the festival’s final two days.
Autumn Fun With a Halloween Twist
Pumpkins remain a big part of the experience. The wider festival programme includes a pumpkin-carving artist, family carving and painting activities, an amusement park, children’s entertainment and music. Seasonal installations and photo spots add to the setting, while the Halloween theme brings a different feel to this closing weekend.

The organisers have not yet published a detailed day-by-day lineup, so it is not clear which activities or performers will appear on each date. If your family is especially keen on a particular activity—or would rather avoid the spookier elements—check the final programme before you go.
Planning Your Visit
The Halloween weekend takes place on Saturday, 31 October, and Sunday, 1 November, at the City Park Ice Rink and Boating Lake in Budapest. Opening hours and ticket details for these dates have not been provided in the available information.
For tourists visiting Budapest in late October, the festival offers an outdoor seasonal activity that does not depend entirely on understanding Hungarian. You may encounter Hungarian-language performances, but the pumpkin displays, creative activities and Halloween atmosphere are there to experience firsthand.
