“Halloween will eventually be a mainstream holiday in Australia,” predicts The Party People

Trick or treating started life in the US in the early 1900s and the holiday is a huge part of modern American culture to this day. While Hallows Eve is a huge part of American culture, and a prominent celebration in the UK, its popularity is also starting to spread to other countries, as Progressive Party Europe found out when chatting to Dean Salakas, chief party dude at Australia’s The Party People….

When Dean’s parents opened The Party People 35 years ago, Halloween was non-existent in Australia, but the family-run retailer has seen the holiday grow over the years, and to this day, it becomes more popular each year.

Head over to the digital issue of Progressive Halloween to read the full feature.
