Calling all zombies, witches, monsters, goblins, robots, skeletons, vampires, yetis and creatures that go bump in the night! Halloween is coming to Bondi Junction, and local families are invited to dress up and join an afternoon of frightfully fun festivities.
This 31 October, the historic Boot Factory in Bondi Junction will be transformed into a wonderfully spooky Halloween playground filled with creepy creatures, ghostly surprises, entertainment, dancing, crafts and plenty of opportunities for kids to show off their Halloween costumes.
Best of all, Halloween at the Boot Factory is completely FREE and designed especially for children aged 3–12 and their families.
So dig out the costumes, practise your best monster walk and prepare for a Halloween adventure right here in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
Enter the Boot Factory… If You Dare!
Things might look a little different when you step inside the Boot Factory this Halloween.
Families will enter a world of giant spiders, creepy cobwebs, looming skeletons, bewitching bats and ghastly ghoulslurking in the shadows.
Keep your eyes peeled as you explore – you never know what spooky surprises or terrifying treats might be waiting around the next corner.
Little ones can enjoy the excitement of Halloween without things getting too frightening, while older kids can embrace the opportunity to dress up, explore and join the activities throughout the afternoon.
Whether your child arrives as a tiny witch, friendly ghost, superhero, monster, princess, zombie, robot or something completely unexpected, everyone is invited to join the Halloween fun.
Come Dressed for the Costume Parade
Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without dressing up!
Kids are encouraged to arrive in their favourite Halloween costumes and take part in the costume parade.
It’s their chance to strut their stuff and show everyone their Halloween creation.
Costumes certainly don’t have to be scary. Funny, colourful, creative and completely silly costumes are all welcome.
So whether you’ve spent weeks creating an elaborate homemade costume or pulled together a last-minute outfit from the dress-up box, put it on and join the parade.
Parents might want to have their phones ready too – there should be plenty of opportunities for some very cute Halloween photos.
Meet the Spooky Entertainers
Watch out for some unusual characters roaming around the Boot Factory during the afternoon.
Spooky entertainers will be joining the celebrations and helping bring the Halloween atmosphere to life.
There could be surprises waiting around corners, characters ready to meet little monsters and plenty happening to keep families entertained as they make their way through the event.
Show Off Your Monster Moves
Once you’ve explored the spooky surroundings, it’s time to hit the dance floor.
Kids can show off their scariest, funniest and silliest dance moves as the Halloween party gets underway.
Practise your zombie shuffle, monster stomp, skeleton shake or witchy wiggle and see who has the best Halloween moves in the family.
There are no dance skills required – the idea is simply to have fun.
Get Creative in the Halloween Craft Corner
Need a break from dancing?
Head over to the craft corner, where kids can get hands-on and create something creepy to celebrate Halloween.
Craft activities add a quieter option to the afternoon and are perfect for children who love making, drawing and creating.
It’s also a great opportunity to take a little break between exploring the Boot Factory, meeting the entertainers and joining the other Halloween activities.
A Free Halloween Activity for Eastern Suburbs Families
Halloween has become an increasingly popular celebration for families, but organising trick-or-treating with younger children isn’t always easy.
Halloween at the Boot Factory provides another way for families to enjoy the occasion, with activities taking place in one central location during the afternoon.
The event is aimed at children aged 3–12, making it a particularly handy option for families with younger kids who want to experience some Halloween excitement before it gets dark.
And because the event runs from 3pm until 6pm, there’s still time afterwards for families who want to continue their Halloween adventures or head home for dinner.
Drop In Anytime Between 3pm and 6pm
There’s no need to spend the entire afternoon at the Boot Factory.
Families can drop in anytime between 3pm and 6pm and join the frightful fun.
That makes it easy to fit Halloween into your Friday afternoon plans – whether you’re coming straight from school, meeting friends in Bondi Junction or making the Boot Factory the first stop on a bigger Halloween adventure.
Stay for a little while or settle in and enjoy the festivities.
