Trick or Treat Little Stanley Street

Overview

A Halloween without pumpkin is no Halloween at all, so South Bank's Little Stanley Street is going all out. As part of Trick or Treat Little Stanley Street on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27, it's setting up a pumpkin patch. After you pick the perfect orange vegetable, you can take it home with you — for decoration as it is, or for carving into a jack-o-lantern — all for a gold coin donation.

Even better: that cash will be donated to the folks responsible, aka struggling Aussie farmers. But that's not all this event has to offer, especially if the occasion makes you hungry. Go trick or treating along the roadway, filling your bucket with goodies. Or, settle in at one of the many eateries along the South Bank stretch and enjoy a meal to match the mood.

Running from 5pm each day, this is a family-friendly affair, so expect plenty of little trick-or-treaters. Of course, filling a lolly bag is just as enticing for kidults — and getting cosy at one of South Bank's bars afterwards is a thoroughly adult way to cap off the evening.
