How it's used
Halloween is primarily celebrated in commercial districts like Lan Kwai Fong or at theme parks like Ocean Park and Disneyland rather than as a traditional family holiday. Most locals associate the date with costume parties and themed events rather than the traditional trick or treat activities common in Western countries. It is common to hear people refer to the act of dressing up for the occasion as 扮嘢.
