About the Event

Welcome to our 2nd Annual Wynnum Halloween parade supported by Brisbane City Council and Ampol. After learning from our first year running the parade we have changed a few things and added some fun! We have added Sideshow rides this year along with more entertainment and a main stage. The Halloween Parade will be bigger and better plus we have entertainment pre and post parade on our Main Stage! AND enjoy the Markets & a variety of foods from local vendors and Food Trucks.

If you can’t find information you need on this page please check our FAQ’s. Our Facebook Event is also packed full of information and updated regularly.
