Family-Friendly Halloween on the Costa Blanca: Best Events and Ideas for Kids

As the orange glow of October sets in, families across the Costa Blanca are more excited than ever for Halloween. While “All Saints” day is traditionally celebrated in Spain on November 1st, Halloween has grown in popularity among children, and parents are enjoying the creative, spooky fun!

If you live or visit the Costa Blanca, here’s your ultimate guide to making Halloween magical and spooky for your children this year.

Benidorm’s Terra Natura and Aqua Natura Halloween weekends— Every October, these popular wildlife and water parks transform into spooky-but-safe zones complete with pumpkin trails, costume contests, and themed workshops. Perfect for children aged 3 to 12.

Halloween in Alicante City Centre—Alicante frequently hosts family-friendly parades as well as haunted walkthroughs designed for people of all ages. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming local events and activities near El Corte Ingles and Plaza Seneca.

Orihuela Costa’s Halloween Fair—This coastal area is popular with expat families and frequently hosts Halloween fairs featuring bouncy castles, trick-or-treat trails, and costume contests. La Zenia Boulevard is usually well-decorated and offers free children’s workshops.

Moraira and Javea Community Events – Local schools and family groups frequently organise English-language events in these smaller towns, such as pumpkin carving contests, spooky story hours, and trick-or-treat maps for participating homes.

While door-to-door trick-or-treating is less common in Spain than in other countries, it is gaining popularity, particularly in communities with international residents. Joining local Facebook or WhatsApp groups is the best way to find out which streets or urban areas are participating.

If your children love animals, let your family pet join in the fun. Many Costa Blanca towns now host pet costume parades—there’s nothing cuter than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin, let’s be honest! Simply make sure they are comfortable and cool.

Halloween on the Costa Blanca is more than just sweets and scares; it’s a thriving tradition that brings families together. Whether you participate in a parade, create a costume, or host your own spooky soiree, your children will remember these sun-soaked spooky seasons for a lifetime.
