West Footscray will go to hell from October 31 when Halloween in the West returns for 2024.
Organised by the Op Shop West Footscray, the annual Halloween event will take place from 4pm to 9pm everyday from Thursday to Sunday, November 3.
Along with the obligatory trick or treating on Barkly Street and surrounding parts of West Footscray, other entertainment options will include jumping castles, a free photo booth, sausage sizzle and free face painting.
But as in previous years, the main attraction will be the Halloween hell house at 594 Barkly Street.
For a five dollar entry fee (free for children under 12), entrants to the hell house will get to navigate a walk-through maze, complete with jump scares and amazing decorations, with all proceeds going towards the op shop.
“It’s become a staple part of West Footscray festivals, and it’s always an amazing event with people, young and adults alike, coming to partake in their favourite costumes for Halloween,” said op shop manager Debbie Lanciana.
“It’s in its fifth year, and every year has attracted more trick-or-treaters from all parts of Melbourne.”
With Halloween growing in popularity each year, Ms Lanciana encouraged those planning to dress-up and go trick or treating, to drop by West Footscray during the four day event.
“There is something for everyone, so please inviting the whole community and beyond to come down and celebrate with us.”
