In 2024, more than 7,000 revelers took part in the city of Loulé’s Halloween Parade, and the 2025 celebration is expected to be even bigger! The entire downtown area fills up with costumed crowds, themed floats, and nonstop music.
The parade typically begins near the central market and winds its way toward Largo de São Francisco, where the atmosphere reaches its peak. Along the route, dancers, musicians, and street performers (many dressed as famous horror movie characters) keep the energy high and the crowd entertained. The event is open to everyone, with no entry fee or registration required.
For the best experience, it’s worth arriving early in the afternoon to get a good spot to catch all of the best costumes. Some of the best seats are near the main square where the floats finish their route. Street vendors, food stalls, and nearby cafés stay open late, which will give you the chance to grab a bite or a drink while enjoying the Halloween party that lights up Loulé well into the night.
