Spooky Sands: Halloween in Jūrmala, Latvia

#hellohalloween #jurmala Jūrmala's 33km white-sand beaches and pine forests set a hauntingly beautiful stage for Halloween. While not a traditional Latvian fest (locals honor pagan masking in winter), expats and tourists amp up the scares. Dress as ghosts or witches—costumes are key for parties! Events & Vibes: Head to Dzintari Concert Hall for potential themed gigs. Jomas Street buzzes with pop-up costume contests and bars like 5 Depe offering pumpkin cocktails. For thrills, join a ghost walk in nearby Ķemeri National Park's misty bogs. Riga's wild parties (30min train away) spill over; try Neon Halloween at Loud Fish club. Tips: Pack layers—October chills to 5-10°C. Rent bikes (€10/day) for foggy forest haunts. Dine on black bread with herring for a Baltic twist. Stay at Baltic Beach Hotel for spa recovery. Safety: Stick to lit paths; taxis are cheap (€15 to Riga). Embrace the eerie calm—perfect for romantic scares!
