Majors Bay Road in Concord is set to undergo a spooky transformation on Thursday 31 October, with a thrilling Halloween Festival bringing the precinct to life from 5pm to 9pm.
The festival will be a fun-filled evening for all ages, featuring a trick-or-treat trail, live music and roving performers. Families can also enjoy activities such as face-painting, a haunted house, a jumping castle, and special Halloween-themed offers from local businesses.
“Halloween on Majors Bay Road will be an exciting night out for the whole community,” City of Canada Bay Mayor Michael Megna said.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, have some fun, and support the fantastic businesses that make our area special.”
The Halloween Festival is proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Open Streets program and presented by the City of Canada Bay in partnership with the Majors Bay Chamber of Commerce, a local representative group for businesses in Concord, Breakfast Point, Cabarita, Mortlake and North Strathfield. Council was successful in receiving $100,000 under the Open Streets program to support this exciting event.
Local businesses will join the celebration by offering themed specials, encouraging residents to explore and support their favorite shops and cafes.
"We’re excited to see the local business community unite to bring Halloween to life on Majors Bay Road,” Majors Bay Chamber of Commerce President Christian Bracci said
“This will be one of the biggest events Concord has seen, and the excitement is building across the community. It’s a great way for families to enjoy the festivities while discovering all that the street has to offer.”
Minister for Roads, Arts, Music and the Night-Time Economy, Jobs and Tourism John Graham said:
“We’re excited to support this event in Concord.
“Too often our main streets are something we drive through, rather than drive to. Our streets are a critical part of our public and social infrastructure. Great streets make great towns and centres and reflect the local community and culture.
“The Open Streets program is about temporarily transforming our main streets into vibrant and welcoming public event spaces.
“The colour and diversity of these 130 events celebrates the unique personality of each town or suburb. This is what our vibrancy agenda is all about, backing locals to create events and entertainment that works for their local community.”
