The events scene in Sunshine will be attracting more visitors with $25,000 from the state government to help deliver the Sunshine Halloween Street Party.
Run by the Sunshine Business Association, the family friendly street party will take place on Tuesday, October 31, from 4-6pm at Hampshire Road in Sunshine. The party is a chance for kids to get dressed up in their scariest outfits after school.
Hampshire Road will come alive with roaming ghouls, scary characters, trick or treating, flash mobs and four decorated Halloween Dens for kids to have their face painted and grab lots of free treats.
Laverton MP Sarah Connolly welcomed confirmation that the event will proceed in October, as part of the state government’s Small and Medium Events Program.
“For an evening of family friendly fun this Halloween, come down and check out the Sunshine Halloween Street Party,” she said.
The Small and Medium Events Program supports a diverse range of activities including cultural, sporting and creative events.
The program will help create ongoing jobs across the industry, connecting organisers with local businesses and suppliers and attracting more visitors to experience the best Melbourne’s suburbs have to offer.
