Young people in Dong Nai 'stock up' for Halloween.

(Dong Nai) - Every street corner, cafe, and especially the large shopping malls in Dong Nai province have gradually donned a spooky, colorful "coat," creating an interesting highlight for urban life during Halloween.

Walking along central streets like Nguyen Ai Quoc, Pham Van Thuan, Dong Khoi, etc., you can easily spot the vibrant and somewhat "spooky" colors of Halloween. From cafes and gift shops to shopping malls and even small street corners, everything is adorned with the characteristic black and orange hues.

Ms. Bui Hai Linh (Trang Dai ward) shared: “Every year, Halloween has a new theme, so I'm very excited to prepare. This year, I chose to dress up as a character from the movie Wednesday, so I had to start 'hunting for costumes' from the beginning of the month. I love the Halloween atmosphere because everywhere I go, I see people investing in costumes and decorating shops attractively.”

Costume accessory shops on busy streets or online stores throughout the province are selling out of masks, cloaks, wigs, and face paint. Prices range from 50,000 VND for a mini mask to 300-500,000 VND for elaborate cosplay costumes. Some young people also choose to rent costumes from photo studios, at prices from 150-300,000 VND per set, to save costs while still ensuring unique and eye-catching photos.

Many handmade craft shops in Trang Dai and Tam Hiep wards have launched eco-friendly decorative products: paper pumpkins, recycled wood models, and energy-saving LED lights.

Meanwhile, bakeries, restaurants, and beverage brands are taking advantage of the Halloween season to make their mark with special combos: skull-shaped cookies, drinks with a cold smoke effect, or mini gifts with stickers. This approach not only boosts sales but also enhances the consumer experience.

Although Halloween originated in the West, upon its introduction to Vietnam, especially in dynamic cities like Dong Nai , the festival is being subtly "localized." Young people in Dong Nai are not only copying the tradition but also creating their own unique styles. Many student groups organize Halloween nights to raise funds for underprivileged children or design costume games related to environmental protection.
