Halloween in the Gaume and Belgian Luxembourg: 4 outings for an unforgettable October 2026
A blood-red swimming pool in Virton, a ghost tram through the Ardennes, a night at the Gaume Museum: Belgian Luxembourg turns Halloween 2026 into a holiday you will never forget.
Halloween in the Gaume: when Belgian Luxembourg takes on a spooky face
On October 31, the Gaume swaps its golden lanterns for a world of witches and bats. Here are four outings that turn this day into an unforgettable memory.
A blood-red swim and an aquatic cinema in Virton
Picture this: you are swimming in a pool dyed blood red, surrounded by giant cobwebs, while witches and bats hover above the water. The Halloween Pool in Virton opens free of charge from 2 p.m. In the evening, the Aqua Ciné Halloween event turns the swimming hall into a cinema… in the water. Quirky, and thoroughly Gaumais.
The TTA Halloween tramway
Deep in the Ardennes, the TTA Halloween Tramway transforms into a ride of chills. Three journeys towards fright, costumes mandatory. The mist over old railway tracks in October does wonders for the atmosphere.
A night at the Gaume Museum (escape game)
Close your eyes. You are in the courtyard of Virton's medieval farm, and the museum is coming alive. The "A Night at the Museum" escape game, organised by Ferme Arc-en-Ciel for ages 12 and up, blends heritage and suspense at 6.30 p.m.
A gentler Halloween at the Caf' Conc'
For families who prefer warmth over fear, the Caf' Conc' in Virton offers an afternoon of face painting, bouncy castles and seasonal pastries, before a festive evening lasting until 2 a.m.
After all those shivers, nothing beats slipping under a warm duvet in a Gaume farmhouse smelling of beeswax and woodstove smoke. Gîtes-Gaume keeps the door open for you.
