It is time to get out the most monstrous costumes. The appointment with witches and ghosts born overseas is now a classic in Europe and Italy too, so we have selected - between trick-or-treaters and trick-or-treaters - some events not to be missed in Florence on the night of 31 October 2023.

  • Pumpkin Patch: a pumpkin patch in the style of American farms has been created in Reggello. Themed sets and spots have been installed and there is an area where you can carve and paint your own pumpkin. It is open every weekend in October, from Friday to Sunday, and also on 30 and 31 October. On Halloween Day, a theme party is scheduled from 5 p.m. onwards. Admission with reservation fee.

The start is at 8 p.m. from Le Pavoniere swimming pool. Prices and info on the official website.
