Halloween Festival
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Halloween this year!
On Thursday, 31 October, the streets of Majors Bay Road in Concord were transformed into a haunted wonderland for our Halloween Festival. From 5–9 pm, the street came alive with a thrilling trick-or-treat trail, face painting, roving performers, live music, street games, and more.
The Halloween Festival on Majors Bay Road started as a local initiative spearheaded by the local business chamber, with support from City of Canada Bay. Over the years, it has grown into one of the area's most anticipated community events, drawing thousands of visitors.
Thanks to the support of the NSW Government's Open Streets Program, this year’s Halloween Festival was the biggest and best yet!

Sensory Space at Halloween
At this year's Halloween Festival, we'll be piloting a Sensory Space designed for anyone needing a little time away from an overwhelming environment.
The addition of a Sensory Space, or quiet area, makes for a more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible event for the community.
Delivered in partnership with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), the marquee will provide bean bags, headphones and other sensory items. The space is beneficial for people with disabilities and medical conditions; offering a quieter, safe and supportive area for people to retreat to for a short time, to feel calm.
Please note, the Sensory Space is not a social space and children should always be accompanied by a parent/responsible adult when using the space.
