Halloween in Brazil is still catching on and it’s perfectly possible for it to pass you by without even realizing it. The influence of American culture in Brazil is as strong as ever and the last few years have seen a popularity boost. The best place to celebrate Halloween is in a nightclub or bar in costume. Here, Culture Trip gives you some of this year’s best Halloween parties in Rio.

Palaphita Gavea is, like the name suggests, in a neighborhood in the south zone of Rio called Gavea. This venue is partially indoors and outdoors and has a trendy feel with its lit up palms, wooden details and well-dressed crowd. This club is always one step ahead and wasn’t going to miss out on the chance for a Halloween party. On Friday, October 29th at 9 p.m., Palaphita will hold a Halloween party with fancy dress and Halloween music (think Thriller by Michael Jackson). There will also be an open bar and plenty of spooky decorations.
