Other attractions at the fair ground include “Saving Hero Poli,” “Dance by Tatung Baby,” “Coca Cola Fun Zone,” “ICRT Live Outdoor Broadcast Party,” and more. Furthermore, vendors from Tianmu area will also offer scary wares and cuisines at a special Halloween marketplace event.
The Halloween party this year will join hands with the Shilin International Cultural Festival to organize the Halloween parade on Zhongcheng Street! Don’t miss this chance to see participants dressed up in costumes and wearing scary makeups roaming the streets of Tianmu!
To boost the atmosphere of scary festivity, booths in front of both Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store and Dayeh Takashimaya Department Store will give away 5,600 pumpkin-shaped buckets to kids, allowing them to join the parade and conduct trick-or-treat at participating stores marked by the pumpkin lantern!
