The World celebrates Halloween: Traditions, costumes and pumpkins

Music filled the streets of Rio de Janeiro as crowds gathered for a Halloween parade. Known for its vibrant carnivals, the city took on a darker tone on Saturday. We can be skeletons, death, witches or whatever we want. It's a mix and Rio de Janeiro is Brazil. That's why I think everything here is fantastic and thank God I live in Rio de Janeiro and take part in this. There were similar scenes in the Bolivian capital where people gathered for a zombie walk, a tradition that has gained traction in the conservative country. The nation marks All Saints Day and Day of the Dead on November the 1st and 2nd, however in recent years it has also taken on Halloween. For some, the festivities have a political slant. In this zombie march. In this zombie march, we bring the demonstration and the monsters. We also want to make small satires of politics and cultures. Cheers. A las culturas. Over in Hong Kong, tens of thousands of costumed partygoers filled the streets of the nightlife district following a month-long government-backed campaign seeking to attract tourists. In Chicago, meanwhile, it was the city's dogs who took center stage with their outfits as part of a competition. When we come here, it's really for, you know... We just want to see all the dogs. Yeah, we're like, I mean, if we win, that's awesome. But like also like we at the end of the day, playing with the dogs and seeing them and seeing how creative people can get is the best. Budapest was also among the locations where residents marked Halloween. We'll be right back. The city hosts one of Hungary's largest Halloween festivals, which began in 2019 with just over 2,000 people, but has grown to 10,000 this year.
