One in five Australians are getting ghoulish this Halloween, with ever-growing popularity of the October 31 event reflected in boosted retail sales across the nation. Many popular retailers are seeing increased sales of up to 20 per cent on Halloween merchandise, with department stores selling hundreds of thousands of costumes and tens of thousands of decorations so far. Australians can’t resist carving up a Jack O’ Lantern, with supermarkets reporting a 25 per cent increase in pumpkin sales in the lead up to Halloween. ARA CEO Paul Zahra says the Halloween tradition has a rich history that Australians enjoy celebrating. “Halloween originated as a Celtic Festival from the United Kingdom where people lit fires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts,” Mr Zahra says. “Over time, it’s evolved into a day of trick or treating, festive gatherings and donning costumes. It’s now a global phenomenon and a significant retail event.  Australian retailers will be enjoying a $450 million sugar hit from Halloween spending in 2024, with 38 per cent of Australians stocking up on candy for trick or treaters. 37 per cent will also be buying Halloween costumes, and 32 per cent will be buying chill-inducing home décor.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 👻 Make sure your Halloween is all treats and no tricks with these simple safety tips: 🕸️ Light Up the Night 🎃 Carry flashlights or use glow sticks to keep trick-or-treaters visible, especially to drivers. Reflective tape on costumes can also be a lifesaver! 🕷️ Costume Check – Make sure costumes are the right length to avoid tripping hazards, and go for non-toxic face paint instead of masks to help with visibility. 🍭 Candy Caution – Always inspect treats before eating. Stick to factory-wrapped candies, and avoid homemade items from unfamiliar sources. 🚸 Stay on the Path – Use sidewalks, cross at designated crosswalks, and remind kids to look both ways before crossing. 🚫 Avoid Fire Hazards – Choose LED candles for jack-o'-lanterns to keep everyone safe from open flames.
