Following a successful virtual experience earlier this year, the focus for the 2022 event will be bringing together the industry in-person for a safe and productive business experience while maintaining the hallmark sense of celebration the Halloween & Party Expo is known for.

Marni Golden Vinci, show director of the Halloween & Party Expo commented: “We are excited to finally share the news we are heading to Las Vegas! The decision to hold the show at The Mirage came after having discussions with our attending and exhibiting customers. Las Vegas is convenient and cost-effective to travel to and the city has industry leading safety standards for in-person events through their Meet Smart, Vegas Smart program. We are excited to partner with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to showcase all Las Vegas has to offer. With the ongoing progress of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout we are very optimistic about next year’s event.”

Halloween & Party Expo will offer retailers a one-stop shopping experience from hundreds of leading manufacturers. The show features a comprehensive product selection and buyers will have the opportunity to discover thousands of new products and write orders for the 2022 season, while taking advantage of exclusive discounts and specials only offered during the event. Ensuring the safety of attendees, exhibitors and staff at the Halloween & Party Expo will be the top priority. Detailed plans will be communicated leading up to the event that comply with all CDC, state and local regulations.

The proceeds from the Halloween & Party Expo are used by the Halloween & Costume Association to promote and grow the safe celebration of Halloween and year-round costumed events throughout North America.
