The Beasts & Witches Festival offers a dense and ultra-diversified program, perfect for an exciting family getaway or experience and spills under the sign of Halloween.
For young audiences, Bêtes & Sorcières offers Halloween mask-making workshops, storytelling sessions, and unusual experiences such as exploring the carved turnips at Saint Sixte Castle in Freistroff.
The biggest and bravest will dare to take part in the adventure of "Les Couloirs de l'Effroi", at the Bitche Citadel, or "l'Antre des Vampires" in the Château de Malbrouck ! Sensitive souls, please refrain !
For a fortnight, all of Moselle will be vibrating to the theme of horror, and Halloween of course.

Do you know the origins of Halloween?
The Rommelbootzennaat, stronger than Halloween in Moselle!
The Moselle region is full of traditions... and certainly more stories of beasts and witches of all kinds.
In fact, if you go back a few centuries, we've come up with a legend that's sure to please!
Once upon a time... On 31 October, we celebrated the end of the luminous period and the beginning of the cold season. During the night of All Saints' Day, the door between the world of the living and that of the dead remained open.
Parc animalier de Sainte-Croix | L.Beckrich
To protect themselves from the wandering souls that prowled around their homes, the Moselle people lit candles. They then placed them in hollowed-out beetroot, on which they drew terrifying faces!
This particular night had a name: the Rommelbootzennaat, or Night of the grimacing beetroot. So Moselle has nothing to envy to Halloween, which it has been celebrating in its own way for several centuries now!
Today, it is notably Saint Sixte Castle in Freistroff that highlights this tradition and helps popularize the Rommelbootzennaat with the general public.
