It’s that time of the year once more when we embrace spooky season and enjoy all things Halloween whether it’s the thrill of exploring haunted houses or the festivities it brings such as parties and events for this month.
On that note, here are 7 Metro Manila events this October 2022 that you can go to, from jamming with various K-Pop artists to joining a Guinness World Record attempt for the “Longest Hearse Parade”.
Start your fun-filled month by spending time with well-known OPM artists such as Kamikazee, Urbandub, and Franco at The Rail’s Stories of the Streets event.
The Globe Circuit Event Grounds in Makati will surely welcome music lovers, The Rail apparel fans, and skateboarders alike for this awaited event.
