PomPom Halloween Craziness Party: A Family Rave on the Danube in Budapest
Halloween celebrations stretch into November at the PomPom Halloween Craziness Party, a family-friendly afternoon of dancing, costumes and creative fun aboard the Kassa Boat in Budapest. Taking place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the party brings children and parents together on a club boat moored opposite the Hungarian Parliament Building.
This is PomPom’s first event at the Kassa Boat, and the theme is all about playful Halloween fun rather than frights. Think sparkly pumpkins, dancing skeletons and little ghosts in pyjamas, with plenty of room for grown-ups to join the dressing-up too.

A Halloween Dance Party for Children and Parents
The family rave puts music at the heart of the afternoon, with DJ Zvezda Beta playing house, breaks and dance-floor favourites that parents can enjoy just as much as their children. It’s a chance to share a proper party atmosphere with the whole family, without waiting until late at night.
Best deals of Budapest
Costumes are encouraged, and the more imaginative, the better. There are no planned scares, so younger children can enjoy the festivities without Halloween becoming too spooky. The afternoon timing also leaves room for a good dance before heading back for your usual evening routine.
Face Painting, Crafts and Space to Take a Break
There’s more to the party than dancing. Face painting gives little guests the chance to become monsters, unicorns or bat queens, while a creative activity table offers something hands-on when they fancy a change of pace. The organisers also promise a few surprises along the way.
The main room hosts the party, while the lounge provides somewhere for children and adults to pause, get creative or simply recharge. That mix makes it easy to move between energetic dancing and quieter moments throughout the afternoon.
A Budapest Party Boat with Parliament Views
The Kassa Boat adds a memorable setting to the experience: a real boat on the Danube, complete with decks, ropes and round windows. It stays moored throughout the event, so this is a boat-based party rather than a sightseeing cruise.
Outside, the terrace looks towards the Hungarian Parliament Building, offering a scenic spot for a breather if the weather allows. For families visiting Budapest, the combination of riverside views and an afternoon party makes a change from the usual sightseeing programme.
You’ll find the boat at Pier II by Szilágyi Dezső Square on the Buda riverbank, a few minutes’ walk from Batthyány Square.
Tickets and Admission
Standard individual tickets are listed at HUF 4,500, while a standard family ticket for four people costs HUF 14,900. No handling fee is listed. The early-bird ticket categories are marked inactive, so use the standard prices when planning your visit.
The organiser’s description says that everyone who can already walk needs a ticket, while babies carried in arms can enter free. However, the ticketing summary also states that there is no free admission, so families bringing a baby should confirm that detail before booking.
Adults can only enter when attending with a child, keeping the afternoon firmly focused on families enjoying the party together.
