Araneta City opens a doorway to a magical world with this year’s “The Rise of the Four Elements” Halloween celebration.
On October 31, the City of Firsts is transforming its malls into elemental realms to create otherworldly dimensions filled with vibrant events and activities. Kids and kids-at-heart can navigate the Water Realm at Gateway Mall 2, conquer the Fire Realm at Gateway Mall 1, float through the Air Realm at Ali Mall, and explore the Earth Realm at Farmers Plaza.
The activity areas of the four malls will be transformed into their respective elemental realms, each featuring themed photobooths, face painting stations, inflatable play areas, and cotton candy corners. Registration to participate in these realms is from 11am to 2pm.
In all these malls, shoppers and diners can also claim free Halloween loot bags filled with sweet treats and other items from Araneta City’s event partners. Just present a single receipt purchase of P2,000 to claim loot bags at Gateway Mall 2, and P1,500 to claim loot bags in the other three malls. Only receipt purchases on October 31 will be considered valid.
At Gateway Mall 2, entertainment at the Water Realm continues with a fun spookfest in the afternoon. The main highlight is the Elemental Guardians costume contest, where participants can showcase their most creative elemental-inspired costumes for a chance to win prizes. There will also be an Into the Sea show.
Outside the activity areas, kids can also enjoy the mall’s elemental realms through the traditional trick-or-treat activity. Participating stores and tenants will display special stickers to guide children and families taking part in the event.
