Halloween events unfolded across several countries Saturday, with cities hosting costume parties, public attractions and seasonal displays while rain threatened some celebrations in the United States.
In Kaohsiung, Taiwan, elementary-school students posed beside a 22-meter pumpkin balloon outside the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, known as Weiwuying. The venue is scheduled to host the Kaohsiung Halloween Festival from Sunday through the following Sunday.
In Pune, India, clubs, event organizers and private hosts prepared themed nights featuring costumes, face paint and Halloween decorations. Organizers said the celebrations included club events, house parties and private gatherings, including a planned Viman Nagar party with capacity for about 400 guests. A community party organized this year attracted more than 100 people.
In Valencia City in the Philippines’ Bukidnon province, businesses and city organizers staged Halloween attractions alongside travel and commerce connected to All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Retail workers at a major shopping mall dressed as recognizable horror characters, while shoppers and cemetery visitors encountered a mix of seasonal entertainment and holiday activity.
Weather forecasts raised the prospect of rain affecting Halloween plans in Southern California, the Gulf Coast, central Florida and Indiana, where outlets reported chances of showers or storms during the weekend.
