Halloween on the Green Bows out for 2023

We are very sad to announce that price rises for insurance premiums, critical infrastructure hire, and quadrupling venue costs, coupled with unsuccessful applications to secure partnerships, have seen the final nail hammered into the coffin of our much-loved community event, Halloween on the Green.


Each year, we return to the same well-trodden pathways of reinventing this much-loved community event, cap-in-hand, to raise the significant capital required to host. Each year, an astronomical amount of work and planning is done behind the scenes, and we await with bated breath for the weather God’s to be kind to us so that we can bring a magical day of fun and frivolity to the hills and community, and raise funds.


Rest assured, although we will not be hosting Halloween on the Green for 2023, we will continue our dedication to working hard to draw all the necessary elements together and to succession plan to see this event continue into the future. As we are unable to raise the much-needed funds for our Free Food Program due to the cancellation of Halloween On The Green 2023, the funds earmarked to run the event will be redistributed to our Free Food Program.


We very much look forward to inviting the community to join in our celebrations in 2024. Should you wish to be part of bringing some magic to life in the hills next year by sponsoring our festival, please connect with us by sending us a message via the form on our contact page.

About

Halloween on the Green is an annual fund raising event for local schools up on Mount Dandenong hosted by The Philanthropic Collective. Previously held on the nearest Sunday to Halloween, at Ferny Creek Reserve in Sassafras, Victoria. Interstate and overseas visitors are always welcome too!


The Philanthropic Collective is committed to creating child safe environments within all our projects where children and young people are safe and feel safe.


At past events we have included a Best dressed competition, Live & Roving Entertainment, Dunk the Pollie, the Principals, Real Estate Agents and the Bendigo Bank Manager throughout the day! We also have Tarot Readings, Stall Holders, Food Vendors and much more! The atmosphere of a Halloween on the Green is relaxed and for all ages, new and old, locals and from interstate or overseas are most welcome. We hope to be back in 2024.
