This Wednesday,dont be surprised if the streets are full of scary characters you would only see in a horror film or a comic book. This year,the city will celebrate Halloween with scary vigour. A number of nightclubs have organised special themed parties for this festival,which originated from the Celtic festival of Samhain,which comes from the Old Irish for summer’s end.
The trend of Halloween has really caught up in the city. Last year we didnt organise any special Halloween party,but this year we had to give in to the demands of our guests,who would like to indulge in the festivities of Halloween, says Piyush Deshmukh,assistant food and beverage manager at Kue Bar,Koregaon Park. The nightclub is organising a theme party on Wednesday night for all those who love to go trick-or-treating. Decked in eerie décor,the club encourages its guests to dress up in their scary best for the Halloween party.
Hard Rock Café,Koregaon Park introduces a variety of spine-chilling drinks to this Halloween like Killer,Dracula’s Bite,Witches Heart,Poison Punch and more. The café dedicated to the legends of rock will be decorated at its eeriest on this spooky night and treats will be given out to guests who look the scariest. I really dig Halloween. People get to embrace characters and be something theyre not,live like their favourite fictional character for some time. It is great to go trick-o-treating. Its not as big as it is abroad,but its amazing fun. I will dress up as a witch, says Divya Mukheree,IT professional.
