Event Overview
An unwritten tradition in Macau! On the last weekend of October, little 'monsters' gather in parks and public spaces near your home, armed with candy, stationery, and stickers, waiting to share the Halloween fun with other kids. This is a spontaneous, community-driven event with no official organizer. It's not about religion or the value of the treats—it's about creating a festive atmosphere for children in our small city. Come dressed up with your kids, share candy, and take photos together!
