Get your ghouls, giggles, and glowsticks at the ready – Wynnum’s most frightfully fun tradition is back! The Wynnum Ampol Halloween Parade is set to take over Bay Terrace on Saturday, 25 October, and this year’s lineup promises more thrills than ever!
Kicking off at 3:00pm, the main stage will come alive with high-energy performances from Kelleher’s Dance Academy and the ever-spirited Side Step Shuffle Line Dancers. Add in bustling markets, carnival rides, and food trucks serving everything from fairy floss to fang-worthy snacks, and you’ve got an afternoon packed with family-friendly chaos.
But the real magic begins at 5:30pm, when the parade rolls down Bay Terrace (between Berrima and Clara Streets), featuring over 200 performers – including Bayside Dance, local bands, and a few mysterious guests who may or may not be wearing capes. Keep your eyes peeled and your lolly bags open as you follow the Trick and Treat Trail, with participating retailers handing out sweets to costumed wanderers.
As the sun sets, the fun ramps up with the Best Dressed finals and a family-friendly DJ set to keep the spooky vibes bouncing into the night. Monster Mash, anyone? And whether you’re rocking a homemade monster look or just there for the tunes and treats, there’s a place for everyone in this community celebration.
