Atsumi no Ichi Lei in Fukuecho, Tahara, Aichi, will host “Gachi HALLOWEEN Costume Battle,” a costume competition celebrating Halloween. The event is scheduled for Sunday, October 26, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., while the venue remains open until 10:00 p.m. Admission is free.

Contestants will wear Halloween costumes and promote their looks on a special runway accompanied by a DJ. Winners will be selected based on combined scores from audience votes and judges. Participants must be high-school age or older and may enter individually or in groups of up to three. Entries are limited to 30 groups on a first-come, first-served basis.

Awards include the “Gachi Champion,” “Scariest,” and “Most Unique” categories. The champion group will receive one-day passes for all members to either Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea, or one-day studio passes to Universal Studios Japan. Audience members can also take part in judging with score sheets.

The venue is home to Atsumi Peninsula Brewing, described by its operator as one of the largest breweries and brewpubs on the Atsumi Peninsula. The brewery makes distinctive craft beers using local agricultural products, with a focus on sharing the stories of local producers and the region’s abundance. Food stalls, face painting, and costume-face rentals are also planned, giving beer fans an opportunity to enjoy local pours alongside the Halloween festivities.
