This year Halloween is very community-orientated, showcasing local school art and craft displays along with local dance school performances and talent on the stage. Many of the Main Street stores will be participating by displaying Halloween decor in their front windows, will offer a "trick or treat" location from 4.00 – 5.00pm and have special Halloween-themed offers.

There will be market stalls featuring local craft, specialty Halloween items and delicious sweet and savoury food options to cater for all.

Of course, there will be exciting and scary rides with $5 unlimited ride tickets available for purchase from Lithgow Library during the event and pre-purchase from the Seven Valleys Visitor Information Centre.

A great addition to this year's event will be the hands-on FREE Kids Zone area, proudly sponsored by Hartley Realty. This will allow children to make and take art and craft items home with them. Activities include, cookie decorating, bubble making, plaster painting, glow-in-the-dark painting, along with free balloon animals and face painting.

There will be stage shows including a magic show and circus acts along with live music performances by Lez & Nae and The Old School Band.

Come along and connect with the other side, with Psychic Medium, Sam Petrou. Holding two sessions in the Library, no booking required.

If that is not your choice of poison, come and have a laugh with our MC/Comedian Steve Philps, on the Cook Street Plaza stage where the Best dressed competition winners will also be announced.

You can dance the night away in our Silent Rave marquee and be sure to watch the finale fire show by Energy Entertainment.

Main Street Lithgow will be closed from Bridge Street to Bank Lane for the Halloween Festivities and event setup from 10.00am to 9.00pm on Saturday 28 October. See program here
