Halloween in Malta 2025 – The Spookiest Celebration in the Mediterranean
Every year at the end of October, Malta embraces one of the most thrilling celebrations of the season: Halloween. What began centuries ago as a Celtic ritual to ward off spirits has evolved into a global festivity filled with costumes, pumpkins, legends and—above all—unforgettable parties.
While Halloween is especially popular in the United States and Northern Europe, Malta has fully embraced the holiday. With its historic cities, ancient fortresses and vibrant nightlife, the island is the perfect stage for nights of fun, mystery and spooky vibes.
What is Halloween and why is it celebrated?
Halloween originates from the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the start of winter. People believed that on the night of October 31, the boundary between the living and the dead was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to roam freely.
Over time, the Christian tradition incorporated this date as All Hallows’ Eve, the night before All Saints’ Day. Today it’s celebrated worldwide with costume parties, pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, horror stories and themed events.
In Malta, Halloween blends international party culture with local legends, creating an all-night Mediterranean celebration.
