With the aroma of pumpkin spice in the air and the smattering of skulls, Halloween has taken over Drifter Coffee NZ.
Owner Madeleine Bennett’s partner is from the U.S. so the ghoulish season has always been celebrated in a big way by the Ōrewa café. Leading up to Halloween, the team goes all out with their ever evolving costume week.
Bennett said, “I’ve always admired Halloween over in America, getting to dress up and go trick or treating, the big parties, it’s a lot of fun!”
Though her mother is also American, Bennett explains, “Growing up here, there weren’t a lot of spots to do that, or anything to do so I wanted to create an event in and around Halloween that allows people to get dressed up, eat some good food, enjoy a beverage and go trick or treating with their kids.
So Bennett has created her own annual eerie celebration. This year she promises a variety of food trucks, themed drinks, an even bigger spooky entrance and more face painting.
Details: 3 George Lowe Place, Thursday, October 31, 6pm-9pm. Costumes encouraged.
