GOBLINS and ghouls are invited to the Original Eumundi Markets on Saturday 29 October for A Fair Day Out with a Halloween twist.
Event co-ordinator Stephanie Whelan said visitors could expect some creepy good times with everyone invited to come dressed-up in their Halloween best to be in the running for $600 in market vouchers.
Judging and a parade of the best costumes will take place at the Eumundi Amphitheatre at 11am.
The prize categories are: most original costume ($200 market voucher); best costume under 5 years ($100 market voucher); best costume 5-14 years ($100 market voucher); best costume 14 years and over ($100 market voucher); and spookiest costume ($100 market voucher).
“We’ll also have special ‘Trick or Treat’ games for young market visitors embracing the Halloween fun,” Stephanie said.
“Games include Pin the Tail on the Black Cat, Witches Hat Ring Toss, Pumpkin Bowling, and Squirmy Worm Dunk”.
A Fair Day Out celebrates inclusive communities and is a wonderful creative expression for people with disabilities.
The day is organised with volunteer and professional support by the On Track Co-operative, comprising five Sunshine Coast not-for-profit disability support organisations – Equity Works, Inclusion Plus Family Support, SCILS, Spiral, and Parent to Parent. Together these organisations support over 800 people with disabilities and their families on the Sunshine Coast.
The hub of the event will be at the Eumundi Amphitheatre with stalls providing information about services for people with disability, stalls run by people with disability using the Original Eumundi Markets’ philosophy of ‘make it, bake it, sew it, grow it’, a haunted house photo booth (where you can have your picture taken with Halloween monsters), as well as free art and craft activities for children plus a ‘come ‘n’ try’ tent, with a range of great free activities including hula hoop making, drumming workshops, and Zen Do Kai sessions.
The amphitheatre stage will hold entertainment from 10am to 2pm, with a blend of performances including dance, music and more.
