Last October 23, 2016, Makati closed off Paseo de Roxas as it hosted its second culinary Street Meet.
Makati
once again presented its distinct city vibe by transforming the most
iconic business district into a spook-tacular space that brought an
array of gastronomic delights, a fun fair for kids, and great
entertainment for all.
Scary
ghouls and goblins, jack-o-lanterns and witches descended upon Paseo de
Roxas, offering not just tricks but also lots of treats, musical
performances, and fun family activities as hundreds of Makati residents
and guests from all over the Metro flocked the streets of Paseo de
Roxas.
The
event featured a selection of vendors from the famed Salcedo weekend
market alongside the nearby iconic Makati landmarks serving as the
background to a fun Halloween street experience.
From
sun up to sun down, the stretch adjacent to the Ayala Triangle Gardens,
became a giant Halloween village—frighteningly fun yet a secure,
pedestrian-friendly playground for the young and young at heart.
Children and even the adults, came in their spookiest and cutest
costumes whilst enjoying the night filled with tricks, treats and
musical jams.
“We
envision Makati as a place where individuals of all ages can come
together and experience Halloween the Makati way and we’re glad that we
were able to do it again through the Makati Street Meet” said Shiella
Aguilar, Project Development Manager of Makati.
There
were different thrilling activities enjoyed by kids and their parents
throughout the afternoon-- The Spooky Halloween Town featuring a Hideous
Parlor, Masquerade Ball, Wishing Cauldron, Houdini’s Escape Challenge,
Magic Monster Photo, Mini Monsters’ Pets, Imaginary Beasts and many more
by Hedcen. The Outdoor Classroom by PlayWorks, Decoupage by LaPomme
and an exhibit on the Tungtong River Conservation made it even more fun
and exciting for the street revelers.
It
wasn’t just the Halloween experience that made the event memorable but
also the delicious food and the soothing music brought by Earth Music
Jam and other musical performances that kept everyone entertained.
The
Makati Street Meet is an event that is truly one for the books as it
became the destination for the best food, entertainment and lifestyle
offerings while promoting walkability in the area through activities
that encourage people to actively use the streets.
“We
are delighted that the Makati Street Meet provided the community with
another avenue to utilize the streets and celebrate this colorful and
spooky time-honored Halloween occasion with us” said Aguilar.
