Halloween Madness at Akvárium Klub
Budapest transforms into a supernatural playground every October, and Akvárium Klub leads the charge with an incredible lineup of Halloween parties that cater to every taste. Whether you’re into university parties, K-pop dance nights, ABBA sing-alongs, or vampire-themed gatherings, this iconic venue has something special waiting for you throughout Halloween season.
ELTE Halloween 2025
Date: October 21, 2025 (Tuesday)
Time: Doors open at 11:00 PM
Venue: Nagyhall, Kishall, and Lokál
Age Requirement: 18+
The university party scene in Budapest reaches its peak with ELTE Halloween, bringing together students from across Eötvös Loránd University for the most haunted and loudest university night of the year. This massive celebration takes over all three spaces at Akvárium Klub, creating an unforgettable experience that showcases Budapest’s vibrant student culture.
What to Expect
Three different dance floors offer distinct musical experiences, from chart-topping hits to pounding electronic beats. The costume competition rewards the wildest and most creative outfits, giving you a chance to show off your Halloween spirit while competing for prizes. The authentic Halloween atmosphere combined with genuine university party energy creates an experience you won’t find anywhere else in Budapest.
Ticket Information
Multiple ticket categories are available, including Early Bird, ELTE I, ELTE II, and VIP options. The standard tickets offer the same experience at different price points, while VIP tickets provide access to exclusive areas with separate restrooms, bars, and coat check facilities. International visitors can purchase external guest tickets through the dedicated booking system.
K-Pop and K-HipHop Night Halloween Edition
Date: October 24, 2025 (Friday)
Time: Doors open at 11:30 PM
Venue: Kishall
Age Requirement: 18+
Best deals of Budapest
Experience the global K-pop phenomenon in Budapest’s premier club setting. OfficialKEvents, the world’s largest K-pop and K-HipHop clubbing events organizer, returns to Akvárium with their internationally acclaimed party format that attracts thousands of fans across more than 25 countries.
Why This Event Stands Out
This isn’t just background music – you’ll dance to exclusively K-pop and K-HipHop tracks all night long. The Halloween edition adds a spooky twist to the already energetic K-pop party atmosphere. Whether you’re a devoted K-pop fan or curious about the Korean music scene, this event offers an authentic clubbing experience that mirrors their successful London and Paris events.
The 700-capacity Kishall provides intimate yet exciting surroundings with unique lighting systems and exceptional sound quality, making it perfect for fully experiencing the bass-heavy beats of K-HipHop and the dynamic pop productions that define modern K-pop.
Mamma Mia Halloween at Akvárium
Date: October 25, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: Doors open at 11:30 PM
Venue: Kishall
Age Requirement: 18+
Who says Halloween has to be all about horror? This ABBA-themed party proves that disco fever and Halloween spirits mix perfectly. Get ready to sing along to timeless classics while celebrating the spookiest season in style.
The ABBA Experience
The night centers entirely around ABBA’s legendary catalog, creating a sing-along atmosphere that brings people together regardless of language barriers. International visitors particularly appreciate this event because ABBA’s universal appeal transcends cultural boundaries. By morning, you’ll be saying Mamma Mia, what an incredible party!
The relaxed yet energetic vibe makes this perfect for those who want Halloween fun without the intense club atmosphere. The combination of nostalgic hits and Halloween decorations creates a unique party experience you won’t find elsewhere in Budapest.
International Halloween Madness
Date: October 31, 2025 (Friday)
Time: Doors open at 11:00 PM
Venue: Nagyhall, Kishall, and Lokál
Age Requirement: 18+
The ultimate Halloween celebration in Budapest arrives on the actual holiday night. Erasmus Life Budapest and ICT present the city’s biggest party, uniting all international and local university students for the wildest Halloween Madness ever organized.
Scale and Atmosphere
This event welcomes 2,500 people across Akvárium’s three venues, making it Budapest’s largest Halloween celebration. Each space offers different musical styles to satisfy every taste, ensuring non-stop entertainment throughout the night.
The main Nagyhall features EDM, mainstream, and house music for those who love high-energy dance floors. Kishall switches between R&B, hip-hop, and reggaeton, perfect for lovers of urban sounds. Lokál delivers techno, trance, and hard groove for those seeking underground vibes.
Special Features
Budapest’s most elaborate Halloween decorations transform the entire venue into a haunted wonderland. The costume competition, professional party photography and videography, and special shows create an immersive Halloween experience. International visitors can even get costume discounts at Maszka Costume Rental by mentioning Halloween Madness or showing an ELB card.
Since this event typically sells out in advance, early ticket purchase is essential. The next day is a public holiday in Hungary, so you can party without worrying about early morning commitments.
Twilight Vampire Party

Time: Doors open at 11:00 PM
Venue: Lokál
