In a celebration that has already become a tradition, Baía Mall hosted its 6th Halloween, on 28 and 29 October, transforming the shopping centre into a stage for festivities that attracted and delighted young and old alike. This annual event, which is increasingly establishing itself in the region's calendar of events, stood out for its varied programme and the enthusiastic participation of the community.
The start of the celebrations, on the 28th, was marked by vibrant performances by the companies Dansartes and Arte Makonde, which brought colour and movement to the festive atmosphere. The play "Trick or Treat", staged by the group Sico na Sico, captured the audience's imagination, while Samsung provided an immersive cinematic experience. A FIFA tournament, run by Is Technology, and the "Best Halloween Make-up" competition, presented by Inglot, challenged the participants' skill and creativity. Art was also in the spotlight, with Muzilene and Deep Mind leading painting sessions that turned simple drawings, frames and T-shirts into works of art. The Baía Mall shopkeepers joined in the party, offering vouchers that were handed out during the activities, in a gesture of generosity and community involvement.
The festivities continued on the 29th, with Timbila Café adding new activities to the programme, among which the circus show, skipping and the ever-impressive stilts stood out. The continued offering of vouchers kept up the spirit of celebration and reward.
Over two days, the event not only celebrated the joy of children and teenagers, but also embraced the richness of local cultural expressions, such as music, dance, theatre and the visual arts, proving that Baía Mall is, indeed, a place where families come together in happiness.
