This is Halloween returns to Carmagnola, the annual event that transforms the town’s historic centre into a world of magic, mystery and fun, involving families, children and fans of the scariest festival of the year: creative workshops, games, entertainment, spooky snacks and monstrous dinners, culminating in the traditional Night-time Parade and the closing show, Halloween Nightmare.
The thematic focus of the 2026 edition is the mouse, a small rodent often associated with fears and superstitions but which plays an important role in the balance of ecosystems: through creative activities and initiatives aimed particularly at young children, the event aims to help raise awareness of this animal, encouraging people to overcome their fears and dispel common misconceptions.
The programme spans three days: Friday 30 October and Sunday 1 November feature the Tour of Darkness, an evening experience combining culture, theatre and gastronomy in the historic centre; Saturday 31 October is the main day, with workshops and activities for children and families, themed culinary offerings in local venues, an afternoon circus theatre show and the grand evening event featuring the parade and the closing show.
