We've had over a decade of Spooktacular fun at Manor Lakes, however we are saying a fond farewell to this beloved annual celebration as you know it. 

Manor Lakes locals Maria and Andy (affectionally known as our 'Halloween Heroes'), started this event 11 years ago as a way to break the ice and get to know their neighbours. Spooktacular has grown significantly from its humble origins and the event has raised thousands over the years for the Starlight Foundation—including over $15,000 in 2023 alone.

Maria and Andy are now on the move from Manor Lakes, and Dalrymple Cemetery is relocating with them. The Manor Lakes Halloween Spooktacular event will not be running in 2024, or in the foreseeable future. We'd like to say a big thank you to Maria and Andy for 11 unforgettable years of Halloween magic! We wish them all the best. 

We understand that this news may be disappointing for many, but we hope that the community will come together to keep the Halloween spirit alive in their own unique ways.

While Halloween looks a little different this year, the spirit of community, creativity, and fun can still live on. And you can experience some of the magic from the past 11 years, below.
