Since Halloween is not traditionally part of Georgian culture, it remains a relatively new and developing celebration in Georgia. Although it doesn’t have deep roots in Georgian customs, Halloween festivities have gained popularity over recent years, particularly in Tbilisi, where young people and expats often bring the celebration to life. In Tbilisi, themed parties, costume events, and decorated cafes or bars create a Halloween atmosphere similar to Western celebrations.
The charm of Halloween in Georgia lies mainly in its entertainment value rather than any profound cultural meaning, offering a unique mix of Western influence and local curiosity. It also gives young people another chance to enjoy the day dressed as beloved characters or popular figures from pop culture.
For those celebrating Halloween in Tbilisi this year and looking for a fun evening, here are some events that might interest you.
