They didn\u2019t let them in. Then, they went to the nearby Don Cangrejo, and the same thing happened. Many other people went through this,\u201d said Adanys Jose Fleite Alonso, a young researcher at the Center for Molecular Immunology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Saturday, I decided to go to Hogo\u2019s, a private bar in Playa. I was surprised at how packed the place was. It doesn\u2019t usually fill up like that. I\u2019m sure it was because of the many nightclubs that didn\u2019t let people with costumes go in,\u201d Fleite Alonso added.<\/p>\n<p>Though the Halloween spirit was most evident in the higher income areas of the city, such as Vedado or Playa, peripheral neighborhoods such as Cotorro also witnessed successful initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-57609 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-41-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"Foto-4\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-41-176x300.jpg 176w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-41.jpg 422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 176px) 100vw, 176px\" \/><\/a>Dayani Ramos Garc\u00eda stayed home but kept on her Catrina costume.<br \/>\nThere, many people gathered at the central square with traditional Halloween costumes, took photos and uploaded them to Facebook to share them with friends in other countries, said Dairon Ivan Miranda Quintero, a university student.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to a party at a friend\u2019s house in Miramar. We knew the decorations are very costly, but, since we wanted to enjoy the Halloween spirit, we put on costumes,\u201d Miranda Quintero commented.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to the government\u2019s attempts to prevent the spread of this foreign tradition in Cuba, the young man said \u201cit is backward and ineffective, because, even if they prohibit it, people will find a way to jump over those walls, as was the case here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As in Havana, others in Matanzas kept \u201ctheir costumes on.\u201d This was what Dayani Ramos Garcia, a self-employed stylist, did. Seeing that the activities at the nightclubs she had planned to go to were cancelled, she stayed home dressed as La Catrina, a popular Mexican death deity. This did not keep her from taking the photos she uploaded to Facebook the next day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57610\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-5.Fiesta-Halloween-en-Hogos-bar1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57610 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-5.Fiesta-Halloween-en-Hogos-bar1.jpg\" alt=\"Foto-5.Fiesta-Halloween-en-Hogos-bar\" width=\"864\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-5.Fiesta-Halloween-en-Hogos-bar1.jpg 864w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-5.Fiesta-Halloween-en-Hogos-bar1-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halloween at Hogo&#8217;s Bar.

Yohervis Rodriguez Martinez, Galaxia\u2019s art director, acknowledges that \u201cit\u2019s not only the financial aspect. It\u2019s also the message you send out by cancelling less than 24 hours before the start of an activity you\u2019ve been promoting. On Saturday, we were practically flooded with calls from people asking why we\u2019d cancelled, and the worst part is we couldn\u2019t give them an answer because we didn\u2019t have one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tourism industry also reported considerable losses, as several hotels had invested substantial sums in decorations and costumes for Halloween. As the ban was applied to these venues as well, the money spent could not be recovered.<\/p>\n<p>In view of these kinds of decisions, made by a handful of people who disregard the demands of many, one cannot help but ask who answers for these financial losses and public frustration. Many are already wondering whether Cuba will or will not have Halloween next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57613\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-101.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57613 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-101.jpg\" alt=\"Foto-10\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-101.jpg 755w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Foto-101-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halloween at the King-Bar\/Restaurant in Havana.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of Cuba\u2019s State-run nightclubs closed up shop on Halloween or forbade people from entering the premises in costume.
