Halloween Travel

If you really love Halloween, why not think about celebrating with a holiday, visiting some of the special Halloween festivals held around the world, or just going somewhere with a spooky history?

Your first stop could be Ireland, the birthplace of Trick or Treating. The Banks of the Foyle Halloween Carnival in Londonderry has been held since 1986 and spans a whole week of festivities.It culminates in a huge ‘Outdoor Spooktacular’ with family events, fancy dress, Halloween crafts, games and music.

It is the US that has really made Halloween into the huge celebration it has now become.In New York (where else) there is a massive parade down Sixth Avenue on Halloween night with some of the wildest costumes, bands, puppets, dancers and artists.New York’s Village Halloween Parade began in 1973 and from humble beginnings has grown to become a fixture in NY’s cultural calendar.

Over in Salem, Massachusetts, you can visit the location of the famous witch trials immortalised by Arthur Miller in ‘The Crucible’.Join the locals for the ‘Festival of the Dead’ and you can take part in the ‘Dumb Supper’, a banquet held in silence to honour the dead (probably not one for younger kids then), a Witch’s Ball and a Vampire’s Ball as well as lots of other spooky events.

Perhaps you would like to go to Hell?Choose from Hell in Michigan, California, Norway, Holland or the Cayman Islands.Find holidays to the Cayman Islands at Expedia.co.uk, trips to Norway also at Expedia.co.uk and ferries to Holland at P&O Ferries

And you could visit Transylvania, now part of Hungary, and the home of the fictional Count Dracula, reputed to be based on Vlad the Impaler.Bran Castle outside Bucharest is touted as being the home of Vlad the Impaler (this is however doubtful), or you can visit his birthplace of Sighisoara, a fairly unspoilt medieval town. For holidays to Transylvania you can find flights to Budapest at Expedia.co.uk.

For a slightly less scary Halloween break, how about Disneyland Paris and their annual Halloween celebration? Disney’s favourite baddies will be out in force along with the Pumpkin Men and the Pink Witches for the ‘Disney Villain Parade', plus lots of trick or treat family fun.
