Halloween is not a traditional festival in Taiwan, but its popularity has grown due to Western cultural influences. While it doesn't have deep historical roots in Taiwanese culture, the day is marked by various modern activities and events, especially in urban areas like Taipei.
Origin: The Halloween that is celebrated in Taiwan today is largely adopted from American customs and traditions.
Adoption: It began gaining traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as expatriates and international schools started hosting Halloween parties.
Costumes: Just like in the West, people, especially children and young adults, dress up in costumes. Costume parties are common among international communities.
Trick-or-Treating: This tradition is not widespread due to different urban planning and housing structures. However, some shopping malls and expat communities organize trick-or-treat events for children.
Events: Bars, clubs, and restaurants may host themed nights with special promotions. Haunted houses and horror-themed attractions are also set up for entertainment.
Pumpkins: Carving jack-o'-lanterns is a growing trend among those who celebrate. Pumpkin carving events can be found in some areas.
While traditionalists may not observe Halloween, there's a growing acceptance of this Western holiday as an opportunity for fun and socializing across various age groups in Taiwan.
