The Halloween Village is coming to Vigevano on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November 2026, with a new event dedicated to children, families and anyone who loves the spookiest celebration of the year. For the first time, the Cavallerizza at Vigevano Castle will be transformed into a Halloween-themed village, featuring pumpkins, creative workshops, magic shows, activities for children and evening entertainment.

The gates will open at 10 am on both days, welcoming visitors of all ages to a programme filled with creativity, entertainment and autumn atmosphere in the heart of Vigevano, in the province of Pavia.

Throughout the two days, the Halloween Village will offer a wide range of activities, particularly for children, while also providing entertainment for teenagers and adults.

The programme includes creative workshops inspired by pumpkins and colours, pumpkin-themed activities, the Nightmare Baker workshop, and art activities dedicated to making lanterns and creating artistic monsters. Visitors can also enjoy magic shows and take part in The Witch's Secret, a treasure hunt where participants will have to follow clues and solve mysteries.

Younger visitors can enjoy Halloween-themed face painting and take souvenir photos with the event mascots. Food stalls, a cocktail bar and a café will also be available, offering opportunities to take a break during the visit.

The event is an ideal opportunity for families to spend time together, take part in creative activities and enjoy Halloween in a historic setting in Vigevano.

The programme continues on Saturday 31 October with a special evening event. From 6:30 pm until 1 am, the Halloween Village will host a large costume party with free admission.

The evening will feature performances by local dance schools and a competition to find the best Halloween costume, with the winner chosen through audience applause. Visitors are encouraged to dress up, enjoy the performances and celebrate Halloween with friends and family.

At midnight, it will be time for the traditional Trick or Treat!, with sweets and treats for everyone, bringing the evening to a festive close.

The event will take place at the Cavallerizza at Vigevano Castle, in the historic centre of Vigevano, one of the best-known towns in the Lomellina area of the province of Pavia.

The event is also an opportunity to explore the town, discover its historic centre and admire the castle complex and nearby Piazza Ducale, one of Vigevano's most iconic landmarks.
