Trick or Treat in Downtown Perth: Downtown Perth (October 28) |
All ages welcome! Brought to you by Spring Children.
|
Zombie Walk: Starting at the Crystal Palace (October 28) |
Don your best undead look and join us as we parade through Perth! Beginning and ending at Crystal Palace on Saturday, October 28 at 5 p.m.
Open to kids and adults! *The Table would prefer to receive cash donations over food as they can use the funds to buy exactly what they need, when they need it including many of the fresh items they have available in the food bank. Buying in bulk and waiting for discounts means they can stretch your donation further. Cash donations also reduce the time and effort required to sort, store and retrieve food donations. |
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: At Studio Theatre (October 28) |
Join your friends and sing along with our very own Rockstar MC-“British Columbia” (Columbia’s northern cousin)! Rock in the aisles to the tunes that are sure to make you “shiver”: “Science Fiction Double Feature”, “Touch a Touch A Touch Me”, “The Time Warp and “Sweet Transvestite” just to name a few! For this show, Studio Theatre is proud to present the premiere screening of the horror film THE WARBLING (see more about the movie below) – filmed in Perth and created by local Perth filmmakers Quentin and Paula Ferrant.
Tickets online are $15 (plus fees) or at the door! |
Truck or Treat!: At St. Andrew's Church (October 31) |
![]() Join us at the St. Andrew’s Church Parking Lot on Monday, October 31 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. During Trunk or Treat events adults decorate the back of their cars for Halloween, load up on candy, and come sit in a parking lot for kids to “trick or treat” from car-to-car. It’s more fun than it sounds! Sometimes kids come in the hundreds, fully dressed in Halloween costumes and holding out bags or plastic pumpkins for treats. The adults get to socialize and be creative while seeing all the cute and scary costumes. Refreshments for adults as well. |
Pumpkin Parade: at the Bandshell (November 1) |
Perth Pumpkin Parade kicks off on November 1 from 7:00-8:30 pm, and your pumpkins are needed! How does it work? After Halloween, bring your carved pumpkin or jack-o-lantern to the Bandshell behind Town Hall, where staff will add a battery-operated tealight and place it in the path. Pumpkins can be dropped off and registered at 6:00 pm, so if you drop it off before then, please make sure to put your name and age group (child, teen, or adult) on the back. From 7:00-8:30 pm, come by, walk through the pumpkins, and vote for your favourites in each category. Winners will be announced on Perth Tourism’s Facebook page November 2. The event is rain or shine, and there is no charge to participate. After the event, the Town will pick up the pumpkins and take them to the compost pile. No need to carry your pumpkins home! Thank you to our sponsors - LIDA, Miss Penny's Closet, and Red Brick Emporium. |
