Halloween might not be for another week, but for two nights this weekend, Southbank will transform into a Halloween hotspot, designed for the whole family.

EatSouthBank’s “Trick or Treat on Little Stanley Street” has returned for another year of spooky street-partying fun, this Friday and Saturday night, promising everything from roving performers and Halloween-themed markets and games, to a ghost train and spooky outdoor cinema.

Guests can enjoy showings of family-friendly flicks like Scooby-doo, Casper and The Addams Family on the big screen across the weekend’s event, and spooky snacks on offer from the Alemre Group (Calida, Poca Madre, Mucho Mexicano).

Countless restaurants throughout the Little Stanley Street Precinct have transformed their venues and menus with Halloween themed cocktails and dining experiences.

There’s nothing cuter than a kid in pumpkin costume, and little ones will be able to trick or treat their way up the street, discovering the endless performers and spooky surprises along the way.

The lawns of Little Stanley Street will host a range of themed activities, like crafts and games and other installations, perfect for the kids (and adults!) hitting that sugar high.

Trick or Treat on Stanley Street will run on October 25 and 26, from five to nine pm.
