Global Halloween commercial and cultural growth
Overview
Halloween continues to expand as a significant commercial and cultural phenomenon. In Brazil, retailers in Curitiba have reported that the holiday has become more profitable than Christmas for specific party supply sectors due to high demand for decorations and costumes.
As festivities for 2026 approach, programming is becoming increasingly diverse. In Brazil, shopping centers such as Goiânia Shopping, North Shopping Fortaleza, and Novo Shopping are organizing candy hunts, parades, and interactive family activities. Specifically, Goiânia Shopping is hosting a candy hunt involving ten different stores, while São Paulo’s Largo da Batata will feature the ‘Cola em Sampa’ event, which includes music, costume contests, and pet-friendly activities. The hospitality sector is also participating, with Clara Resorts offering themed adventure and wellness experiences in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, while culinary contributors like chef Claudia Genaro and Glee Boutique Café in Portugal are providing themed recipes and pastries.
European celebrations remain widespread. Germany is hosting themed walking tours, parties at the Erzquell Brauerei, and a Halloween adventure at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen. France is seeing a variety of events ranging from Samhain markets in Eringhem and family workshops in Pornichet to zombie hunts in Vic-en-Bigorre and themed reptile exhibits at a zoo. In Belgium, themed skating is featured at the Liège Ice Rink, while Portugal is seeing specialized culinary offerings, including immersive cocktail experiences at locations like the Hyatt Regency Vilamoura.
The holiday’s reach has also extended into the digital and gaming sectors, exemplified by Techland’s ‘Halloween Showdown 2026’ event for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, which incorporates community challenges and rewards.
