Join them, along with Upland Recreation & Community Services, Main Street Upland, Inc., youth and adult services clubs and local businesses as they present the Halloween Scary-A-Faire. The streets will be closed off so that the trick-or-treaters can make their way safely through the games and activities. The event is FREE. Families are invited to carve a pumpkin at home and bring it to the event for judging. There will be an overall judging of costumes in the age categories of 0-4years, 5-10 years, 11 years & up and a separate category for family/group. Categories for contests are: Prettiest, Scariest, Funniest, and Most Creative. Awards will be given in each category. Costume judging will begin at 5:15 and end at 7:10 sharp. Winners will be announced at approximately 7:30pm. http://www.ci.upland.ca.us/asp/Site/Recreation/CommunityCalendar/GetPdf.asp?ID=334 |

The custom of wearing costumes and masks at Halloween goes back to Celtic traditions of attempting to copy the evil spirits or placate them. In Scotland, for instance, the dead were impersonated by young men with masked, veiled or blackened faces dressed in white.
Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in America in the early 1900’s for adults and children alike. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s, when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.
What sets Halloween costumes apart from costumes for other celebrations or days of dressing up is that they are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils, or in more recent years such science fiction-inspired characters as aliens and superheroes. There are also costumes of pop culture figures like presidents, athletes, celebrities, or film, television, and cartoon characters. Another popular trend is for women (and in some cases, men) to use Halloween as an excuse to wear sexy or revealing costumes, showing off more skin than would be socially acceptable otherwise.
According to The National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 2008 Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, the top Halloween costumes for children in the United States in 2008 were:
The top Halloween costumes for adults in the same year were:
