Bologna Halloween parties on Saturday 31 October 2026: Estragon’s We Love 2000, the Cassero’s Da Paura night and Random at Unipol Arena, with times, prices and transport.
Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October 2026, and Bologna has three large party nights on that date: a 2000s night at Estragon, a Lady Gaga-themed night at the Cassero and a hit-mixing party at Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno. This post gives the times, the prices that are published and how to get to each.
For the rest of the city, see the Bologna nightlife guide and the best clubs in Bologna.
Facts checked on 22 October 2026. Line-ups, prices, sold-out status and transport plans change, so confirm on the organiser page before you go.
Estragon (Via Stalingrado 83) hosts “Halloween We Love 2000” on Saturday 31 October. Doors and the main event both start at 23:00. The club’s page lists €12 plus fees, tickets through MailTicket, and an 18+ limit. The music is early-2000s pop, Italo dance and rock, with acts named on the page including Lady Gaga, Blink-182, 883, J-Ax, Shakira, Beyoncé, Pitbull, Gabry Ponte and Avril Lavigne. These are artists whose songs feature, not a live line-up. The page gives no dress code and no bus or train directions.
The Cassero LGBTQIA+ Center (Via Don Giovanni Minzoni 18) runs “Da Paura! Halloween al Cassero” from 23:00 on Saturday 31 October. Bologna Welcome lists DJ sets from Ménage à Trash (Padua), Sor Braciola, El Pollo Loco and Met, mixing contemporary pop, dance and past hits, plus a performance by the Gaga Night Show dance group. The theme leans on dark Lady Gaga imagery. Tickets are sold at the Bologna Welcome ticket office in Piazza Maggiore and online through Boxer Ticket. The page lists no price or age limit.
Bologna Welcome describes Random as a party where the music changes about every 90 seconds between well-known hits, with a synchronised visual show. No DJs or performers are named. The two listings disagree on the start: TicketOne says 21:00, Bologna Welcome says 20:30 to 03:00. TicketOne shows a general-admission “3rd Release” price of €23 plus service fees, a high-demand notice and no sold-out label, and says the organiser is Grande Stazione SRL. It does not state an age limit. TicketOne says service fees are never refundable and refunds are set by the organiser.
Unipol Arena is at Via Gino Cervi in Casalecchio di Reno, outside the city. TicketOne lists buses 83, 94 and 671 from Bologna, and line 85 from Casalecchio, and the Palasport stop on the Bologna–Vignola suburban line, about a minute from the venue and about 19 minutes from Bologna Centrale. About 3,000 parking spaces are listed. The page mentions a shuttle for most concerts but does not confirm one for this event. The party runs until 03:00 on Bologna Welcome’s listing, and the pages checked give no late-night bus or train times, so check the operators before you go.
Bologna Welcome’s guide says its Halloween page is still being updated and that prices can change. It lists no price for Estragon or the Cassero, so the €12 at Estragon comes from the club’s own page. The Erasmus night at the Chalet dei Giardini Margherita has no published time or price. For the areas around these venues, see Bologna nightlife neighbourhoods.
