Halloween Fun and Giant Pumpkins
Halloween in Tivoli 2009
In 2006, Tivoli set out to create the standard for Halloween celebrations in Denmark. With the fourth Halloween celebration at Tivoli coming up, this goal has been reached. Halloween in Tivoli (and in Denmark) is dominated, of course, by pumpkins, but also by traditional harvest paraphernalia, since we have moved the festival to coincide with the traditional autumn break in the Danish schools. Halloween in Tivoli 2009: 9 – 18 October
The Gardens will be decorated with pumpkins, scarecrows and all the other trimmings required for creating the right Halloween atmosphere for the whole family. Tivoli’s Halloween is based on the “horrific fun” principle, so even the youngest children can participate. Every day you can meet Tivoli’s witches and heroes (Harlequin, Pierrot and Columbine) on the Halloween Square by the Open Air Stage where the big mill is located and see them march through Tivoli with the Pumpkin Band (the Tivoli Boys Guard). At the square it will be possible to carve your own jack-o-lantern and buy sundry goodies. Tivoli’s rides will all be running.
The Magic Show featuring Tivoli’s witches is a programme event on the Open Air Stage, where the rock ‘n’ roll dance show is also staged. The Danish Championships for Giant Pumpkins will take place at Tivoli on Saturday 10 October. The 2008 championship winner was also a Danish record: 335 kilograms was the weight of the winning pumpkin.Children (max. 12. years) who feel like coming dressed up in a Halloween costume can participate in a contest to find the day’s funniest, best and wildest costume. A winner will be chosen every day at 3 p.m.
The entire programme of events for Halloween in Tivoli will be ready on 25 September at tivoligardens.com.
