Harz Walpurgis Night: Where Witches Meet and Magic Happens!

Dare to dance with witches under the moonlit sky? Venture into the mystical Harz Mountains for Walpurgis Night, the legendary evening when the veil between the natural and supernatural thins to gossamer. Each year on April 30th, the Harz region transforms into a fantastical realm of folklore and festivity, where locals and visitors alike don capes and pointy hats to revel with the spirits of the night.

As the twilight deepens, the mountain air buzzes with excitement, not just from the chilling breeze but from the enchanting array of events that take place. Parades of costumed witches and warlocks, crackling bonfires, and live performances create a spellbinding atmosphere that celebrates the turning of the seasons. It’s a night where folklore springs to life, complete with broomstick races, magical rituals, and maybe a spell or two!

Join the throngs of revelers in towns like Thale, Wernigerode, and Braunlage, where the streets come alive with music, dancing, and mysterious happenings. Don’t miss the chance to be part of a tradition that’s as old as the hills and as thrilling as flying on a broomstick. Come to Walpurgis Night in the Harz and experience a night where magic is real, and the witches are waiting!
