Halloween Costs on the Rise in Coachella Valley
As Halloween approaches, shoppers in the Coachella Valley are facing increasing costs for costumes, decorations, and candy.
A survey by the National Retail Federation found that Halloween spending is expected to reach a record $13.1 billion this year, up from $11.6 billion last year.
- Costumes are averaging about $45 per person, a nearly 15% increase from pre-pandemic levels.
- Candy prices are rising roughly 5% from last year due to high global sugar and cocoa costs.
Economists attribute the increase to several factors, including tariffs on imported goods and higher shipping costs for materials like fabrics and plastics.
