GHOULS AND GOBLINS, jack-o-lanterns and witches will descend upon Paseo de Roxas, promising not just tricks but also lots of treats at the Makati Street Meet on Oct. 23, from 3-9 p.m.

A strip of Paseo de Roxas, adjacent to the Ayala Triangle Gardens, will again be closed as Make It Makati hosts the Halloween Street Meet which will feature a curated selection of vendors from the Salcedo weekend market.

The stretch of road will become a giant Halloween village, frighteningly fun yet a secure, pedestrian-friendly playground for the young and young at heart. Children and their parents can go from their homes to the event grounds in their Halloween costumes.

“Halloween is always fun for kids, so we brought this tradition to Paseo de Roxas, and made it even better. We’d like the Makati community to enjoy this time-honored activity, right here where they live,” said Shiella Aguilar, Project Development Manager of Makati.

There will be a wide range of activities at the Spooky Halloween Town featuring a Hideous Parlor, Masquerade Ball, Wishing Cauldron, Houdini’s Escape Challenge, Magic Monster Photo, Mini Monsters’ Pets, Imaginary Beasts and many more by Hedcen. There will also be an Outdoor Classroom by PlayWorks, Decoupage by LaPomme and an exhibit on the Tungtong River Conservation at the Ayala Triangle Gardens.
