Halloween and Street Parties
Trick or treat season used to be just a school
delight or a barangay mini activity, a kind of get
together for neighbors to catch up on what they’ve
missed about each other. Now, it’s a city festivity. One
can indulge in spooky delights by wearing either a scary
mask from the movie ‘Scream” or a simply horrific mummy
costume, join street parades and dances filled with
ecstatic ‘zombies’ and maybe sample a bit of every
Halloween promo of some establishments in the city, like
discounts on ‘scream fest movies’ from video rental
shops or a special Halloween food treat in diners.
Another Halloween regular is a heart pounding,
hair-raising ride or mini-trip in Halloween booths and
tunnels. Young people also enjoy planning ghost quests,
visiting rumored haunted houses like the one near the
public elementary school and for a few daring souls, the
cemetery at midnight. The rumored ghosts may not be real
but during Halloween, one never knows the spooky
surprise that lies in every corner.
Street parties are the best crowd drawers and have
maximum showcase potential, thus their frequency in
national and local celebrations. Vibrant colors,
innovative choreography and rhythmic beats are the
regulars in each Alaminos street party.
