In 2023, the TMD invited guests to Pink Halloween for the first time as the Pink Palace: The Halloween party that combines horror and queer pop culture. So this year it's going into its third round and we're reaching for the stars. Inspired by the exhibition Heinrich Wendel's Cosmos, the "Cosmic Desires" are at the center of Pink Halloween 2025. On the dance floor, we use the possibilities of the night to celebrate our otherness. In our other activities, you can travel back in time to Lorch in Baden-Württemberg in the 1940s, discover your character's connection to the planets and much more.

Dress codes
We invite you to be inspired by our dress codes and be recognized as "Best Dressed": Sexy Pumpkin and Moonlight Temptation.

Pink Palace
The Pink Palace transforms the TMD into a platform for queer pop culture. The Pink Palace hosts public viewings of the ESC as well as drag shows, ballroom events and parties such as Pink Halloween.
