Various sponsors donated prizes for the best costumes and stall tables, ranging from yoga and Pilates to Engen and Barcelos vouchers. Outfits were judged based on innovation, creativity, effort and the scare factor.
Bordeaux South Residents’ Association representative Kate Kenny shared what she hoped the children would take away from the Halloween fun.

“This is the perfect opportunity for people to meet their neighbours. It’s perfect because children can have fun while parents can relax knowing that they are safe and do not need to worry about the cars and chaos that comes with trick-or-treating in the streets. I hope children learn a bit of wonder, creativity and magic, and that there are fun things outside of a phone screen,” said Kenny.
The children collectively shared their excitement for the sweets, various stalls and trick-or-treat games and what they were looking forward to most.
“We got to get so many different sweets, touch brains and squishy eyeballs, which was so scary. I didn’t even want to put my hand in the worms; I was too scared. I am so excited to see who wins the best costume and the hula hoop contest,” said youngster Luca Schaerer.
