Lol in Germany clubs have to get a special permit to allow the club to be open past 12 am on Halloween because November 1st you're not allowed to dance. Having a legal party that went after 12 am on Halloween was radical back when I was a teen

    Nah, just on November 1st since it is a religious holiday.

    There are a couple more no-dance holidays, November 1st is just the one that started to become most noticeable because of the emerging Halloween parties in the 2000s

    That's such a weird law to have in modern day

    It's heavily criticized and campaigned against. I mean no one will call the police if they see you dancing or throwing a private party at home (I think, though I don't know about rural areas). It's more for businesses and public screenings. It is absolutely outdated. My guess is that the federal lands will eventually abandon them, they just don't get around to do it.
