Dual Tradition: Halloween mixed with Peruvian Criolla music and dance

In Peru you can celebrate October 31st in two different ways: as the Americans and many other countries do, or as Peruvians do (or both)! Halloween, as other occidental traditions, is celebrated in Peru like it is in the United States. Kids wear costumes and ask for candy in their neighborhoods. The main difference is that instead of saying “trick or treat” when asking for candy they say “Halloween, Halloween.”

It is recommended to have plenty of candy on this day to give out to the groups of kids who probably will knock on your door.”*
