The Best Bites at the Festival of Frights
Indulge your taste buds with delicious street eats from Festival of Frights’ food vendors. Sink your teeth into savoury bites from Bapboi and Opa Greek Street Food. Satisfy your sweet tooth with baked goods from Lamun and Bumbleberry Bakes. With so many options for food and drink, people of all appetites can find grub to delight.
Activities for Your Little Ones
Whilst nibbling and tippling, make time for adventures! Little ones can take part in a pirate scavenger hunt with prizes. Get their face painted, let them craft their own Jolly Roger flag, and create a pirate bounty to take home. Grown-ups can hunt for photo ops throughout the market, take flash mob dance lessons or simply wander whilst listening to lively pirate tunes.
When the clock strikes 8:30 p.m., look to the night sky for a fiery finale! Before that, sign up for the Best Dressed Competition to win Professional Portraiture Gift Prizes. Break out your most creative garb to impress the judges. With so many activities available, boredom won’t be walking this plank!
Shop ’til You Drop for Handmade Treasures
What’s a festival without treasures galore? Redcliffe Market’s 200 stalls offer handmade artisan goods and vintage finds. Shop for beautiful jewellery from Blossom or scented candles from Awesome Candles.
Peruse paintings, soaps, clothing and other unique works from local artisans. Don’t forget to stock up on costumes and accessories at Costume House. Check out their stall to pick up those final pieces to pull your look together.
