There are only a few traditions from back in the States that I still celebrate as an American living abroad in Germany. One of them is Halloween! Now with a small child, I find it even more fun to celebrate, dress up, and get out for Trick-or-Treating.

Since I have never properly celebrated Halloween in Germany, I am eager to start building some traditions with my family and do some fun kid-related activities. Here is what is on my list of things I want to do with my family this Halloween:

👻 Niederhöchstadt

👻 Eschborn
👻 Between Schwalbach and Niederhöchstadt Eschborn, many houses decorate and get into the Halloween spirit. I heard from other parents that these areas are also fun to go Trick or Treating!
👻 Musikerviertel in Bad Soden, where many families decorate their homes and hand out candy for Halloween! Rows of homes are close together and families usually start Trick or Treating at a later time, around 8:00 pm. I have heard from other parents that, any house that has a lit jack o’ lantern, is open for Trick or Treaters.

While these are some of the top suggestions I have gathered in my research, there is so much more happening in and around Frankfurt. This list will be updated every year for the latest Halloween activities and trick-or-treating spots in the area.

Hope you and your families enjoy this Halloween and that this list helps you build some fun and spooky memories together!
