Explore Places That Have a Unique Halloween Vibe

Below are a few adventurous Halloween activities to do in Malta, which you can do either as a couple or with the kids.

Explore Mdina on a Ghost Tour

The "Silent City" of Malta, Mdina, becomes even more spine-chilling at night with its ghost tours through its ancient alleys and fortifications. Mdina's haunted history and spectacular views of the island under moonlight make it even more spine-chilling at night.

Mdina ghost tours are a great way to experience all this first-hand. Participants are guided through the city's narrow, winding streets, learning of ghost stories and supernatural occurrences associated with historic sites.

Popeye Village Halloween Adventure

When Halloween is here, Popeye Village Malta, the original film location for the 1980 musical "Popeye," transforms itself into a haunted village that offers a variety of fun-filled activities for families. There will be animation shows, puppet shows, Halloween-themed dances, spooky parades, and trick-or-treat sessions throughout the event.

Fort St. Angelo’s Haunted Experience

At Fort St. Angelo, a historic fortress in Birgu, Malta, the Dark Tales at Fort St. Angelo event takes place during Halloween. On the tour, we learn about the fort's mysterious and supernatural history, including legends such as the Gray Lady, Fra Giovanni Francesco di San Clement's execution, and the macabre practice of launching Ottoman soldiers' heads during the Great Siege. Participants must be 16 years and older to attend.

Zabbar turns into a Lantern Village

Zabbar's Halloween Lantern Festival is a family-friendly event with a spectacular display of glowing lanterns crafted by local artisans and community groups. This event features a spectacular display of glowing lanterns.

You can walk through illuminated alleys while watching live performances, taking part in activities and games, seeing artistic installations, dressing up as a street character, taking pictures in a spooky photo booth and more.

Esplora Interactive Science Centre

This is an opportunity for children to experience spooky Halloween fun along with educational experiences as part of an annual Halloween event. The science centre transforms into a spooky vibe where visitors can enjoy hands-on experiments, such as creating slime, exploring glow-in-the-dark chemistry, and participating in science shows featuring "mad scientists" performing electrifying demonstrations, as well as participating in science shows.

Kids can explore "haunted" scientific phenomena and even carve pumpkins in themed workshops. In order to add to the festive atmosphere, staff and visitors are encouraged to dress in costumes.

How the Maltese Celebrate Halloween

It is no different wherever you are in the world, when Halloween is celebrated, establishments go all out with any type of decoration, as well as selling Halloween merchandise, including costumes, pumpkins, props and plenty more.

Trick-or-treating is one of the most popular activities for young children and youths on the night of Halloween. Children will go door-to-door and knock on doors to get treats. Towns and villages such as Swieqi, Pembroke, and Attard are hit most often by young children. In Malta, sweets and chocolates are served.

Occasionally, some young people will take the celebration to the next level and will usually vandalize vehicles and property where eggs are thrown regularly. (Source: Lovin Malta)

When it comes to Halloween, people usually decorate their houses with spooky themed decorations such as cobwebs, skeletons, and carved pumpkins. Some shops and cafes also sell spooky-themed treats and decorations during this time of year.

There is nothing like the feeling of having a costume party for Halloween. Maltese people love dressing up as witches, vampires, and famous characters for the occasion. Adults also attend themed parties at nightclubs and hotels for this occasion.

What Halloween Means To The Maltese

Halloween celebrations haven't always been a popular tradition in Malta, however, in the past two decades the tradition of events, parties and trick-or-treating has become even more popular.

Although the majority of Malta's population follow a catholic religion and honour the departed on All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, this type of celebration has seamlessly integrated into the Malta culture.

The types of celebrations are very similar to the ones done internationally such as costume parties, haunted house events, themed night clubs and bars and traditional trick or treating.
