A Haunted Halloween Returns to RainbowHouse Brussels

Under the pale October moon, RainbowHouse Brussels will transform into a haunted mansion for one unforgettable night. On Friday, October 31, 2025, the LGBTQI+ community hub, located at 42 rue du Marché au Charbon, 1000 Brussels, will become the gathering place for all creatures of the night.

From 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Halloween Party promises a chilling yet joyful celebration combining queer creativity, music, and community spirit. At 7 p.m., guests will be welcomed with a “cursed cocktail”, a mysterious mix of shadow and fire designed only for the bold.

Then, at 9 p.m., a live DJ set will cast its spell, summoning dark beats and electronic rhythms to keep the dance floor alive deep into the night. Between flickering candles, cobwebs, and echoes of Brusseleir nightlife, the RainbowHouse invites everyone to come “get lost… or find yourself.”

A Queer Cultural Landmark

The RainbowHouse Brussels has long been a cornerstone of LGBTQI+ life in the Belgian capital. As the umbrella organization for dozens of community associations, it hosts regular events blending activism, social engagement, and culture — from film screenings to drag performances and dance parties. According to the RainbowHouse, organizing inclusive events such as the Halloween Party remains central to its mission of empowering and connecting LGBTQI+ people across the city.

Founded more than two decades ago, the venue has become an essential stop for both locals and international visitors seeking Brussels’ queer scene. The building itself, situated in the heart of the Rainbow Village, is emblematic of a neighborhood that thrives on diversity, creativity, and nightlife.
