Clubs set to cash in, but residents brace for sleepless nights

Rain or no rain, the party never stops along Goa’s Anjuna-Vagator coastal belt and Halloween has only added more fuel to the revelry.

What began as a Western festival of fright and frolic has turned into yet another opportunity for coastal clubs to cash in, keeping the nightlife alive and throbbing, much to the dismay of local residents.

Every year on October 31, Halloween gives Goa’s coastal entertainment hubs a reason to stretch the weekend into a carnival of costumes, music and marathon parties.
