TAGUM CITY — The most awaited Halloween celebration for families is back as Gaisano Malls prepares to host the highly anticipated Monster Mania. Set for October 25, 2026, the event will simultaneously take over the atriums of G Mall of Tagum, Davao, Toril, and Digos.
A Spooktacular Afternoon of Fun
Designed to offer a safe and thrilling experience for young ones, the day is packed with engaging activities. From 2:00 PM onwards, families can enjoy a mesmerizing magic show that promises to keep the little ones on the edge of their seats with delightful illusions and surprises.
The excitement continues with a lively mascot party where kids can dance and interact with their favorite characters. Additionally, a creative Monster Art session allows children to showcase their artistic side while embracing the festive, slightly spooky spirit of the season in a fun environment.
Securing the Coveted Pumpkin Pail
To participate in the festivities, parents must secure a Spooktacular Pumpkin Pail for just ₱150. These exclusive pails will be available starting October 20 until October 25, up to 1:00 PM, at the Atrium Halloween Pop-up and GStore's Toy Central.
Each purchase comes with fantastic inclusions designed to maximize the fun. Every pail contains an official ticket, a curated assortment of candies and goodies, and a special Halloween Trick-or-Treat sticker attached to the front for easy identification during the event.
Guidelines and Event Mechanics
The event is exclusively open to kids aged 3 to 12 years old who are residents of Davao, Digos, or Tagum. To ensure a smooth check-in process starting at 12:00 NN, parents must bring the official ticket and the pumpkin pail with the sticker attached.
Proof of the child's age is strictly required for entry. Parents should present a Birth Certificate or a School ID that clearly shows the birthdate. This measure helps organizers manage the crowd, maintain safety, and ensure a wonderful experience for all attendees.
Trick-or-Treating Across the Mall
The highlight of the afternoon kicks off at 5:00 PM with the official Trick-or-Treat event. Participating establishments will display clear "Trick-or-Treat Here" signs at their entrances, welcoming kids in their spookiest and most creative costumes to collect sweet treats from store to store.
Organizers emphasize that each participating child is allowed to be accompanied by only one parent or guardian. This policy guarantees a safe, orderly, and highly enjoyable environment for every family joining the communal celebration across the mall's expansive retail spaces.
By turning the mall into a vibrant hub of imagination, Monster Mania fosters community bonding and creates lasting memories for young families. It provides a secure, weather-proof alternative to traditional neighborhood trick-or-treating, ensuring complete peace of mind for parents while the kids enjoy the magic.
