The inaugural Festival of Halloween will make its spooktacular debut at the Waterside Workers Hall in Port Adelaide.
Transforming the historic hall into a haunted haven for Halloween fans, the festival is designed to be a family-friendly event, ensuring that everyone, from the youngest trick-or-treaters to the most dedicated Halloween fans, has a memorable experience.
Organised by Adelaide haunt operator and Halloween aficionado Stasia Read and Hallozween founder and editor-in-chief Andrea Beattie, festival highlights will include:
- Trick or Treat Trail: Kids and families can embark on a spooky adventure, collecting treats and surprises along the way.
- Kids’ activities: A variety of engaging Halloween crafts will keep the little ones entertained.
