Jack-o’-lanterns will light up Moorabool this week as residents prepare to celebrate Halloween – with several events held across the municipality marking the spooky occasion.
Younger residents aged 11–17 are invited to the council’s ‘Youth Spookaball’ event at the Darley Civic Hub Pavilion on Thursday 30 October for an evening packed with games, activities, music, and dancing.
Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their best Halloween costumes for the chance to win a prize
The event will run from 6–8pm and registration is essential, with details available on Moorabool’s website.
Another opportunity to dress up in your scariest attire is the Halloween Fun Fest, which will be hosted at Rotary Park in Bacchus Marsh from 4–10pm on 31 October.
It will include an animal farm, large format games, market stalls, food trucks, dancing fun, and competitions with prizes.
There will also be a screening of the 2019 animated supernatural comedy ‘The Addams Family,’ following the quirky and much-loved family created by cartoonist Charles Addams.
Entry is $5 at the gate, and the event is hosted by MooraFun.
MooraFun event coordinator Dotty Hazel said this will be the third year of running the event, with previous festivals attracting positive feedback.
She said that attendees could leave the event to do some trick-or-treating and then return, as wristbands will be supplied upon entry.
Pets are welcome if kept on a short leash.
Further details and contact information for this event can also be found on the Moorabool website.
