Halloween Festivities on the rise
If you’re a Halloween enthusiast, then I have some spooktacular news for you! The time of year when we can don our most creative costumes, encourage innocent mischief, and revel in all things eery and bizarre is finally at our doorstep. This year, Halloween is slated to be even better, with events lined up that are guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.
Pumpkin Picking and Haunted House Infestations
Kick off the festivities with traditional pumpkin picking. Dive into an ocean of bright, orange pumpkins and handpick the ones that perfectly match the scary decor that you have in mind. Then brace yourself for the haunted house tours! We’re talking about haunted houses rigged with everything bone-chilling, from creaking doors, free-floating apparitions to creepy crawlies. WARNING: Not recommended for the faint-hearted!
Halloween Costume Contests
One of the hallmarks of Halloween is arguably the costumes. We’ve all loved these ever since we begged our parents to get us kitted out as ghouls and witches. This year come and participate in our grand Halloween Costume Contests. Whether you want to stick with classic scary or go as your favourite pop culture character, everyone is welcome! We cannot wait to marvel at your creativity.
Bourbon Barrel Release
For all you bourbon enthusiasts, we present the Bourbon Barrel Release. It’s the time of the year when distilleries unveil their most anticipated barrel-aged goodness! This isn’t just a drink release; it’s an event devout bourbon connoisseurs look forward to all year long.
The Art of Making Bourbon
Whisk yourself in the enchanting process of making bourbon, from the selection of grains to distillation, barrelling and eventual tasting! Learn how a traditional bourbon differs from a small-batch or single barrel one. It’s not just a tasting session, but an educational experience!
Bourbon Tasting Event
Prepare your palates for a delectable journey of identifying the subtle hints of oak, rye, and caramel in your drink. Engage in relaxed conversation with fellow bourbon enthusiasts over the flavours those barrels have imparted into the liquors. The event aims to create a sense of community among bourbon lovers. This is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss.
Dunedin Doggy Dates
This segment brings joy especially for dog lovers. Get ready for the Dunedin Doggy Dates, fun-packed, dog-friendly events that provide the perfect chance for you and your furry friends to socialise!
Doggy Costume Parade
What better way to bring in some Halloween flavor than a doggo-dedicated costume parade? Dress up your four-legged friends in the most adorable or ghoulish costumes, and watch them strut their stuff. It’s going to be a paw-some sight, sure to leave everyone ‘howl-ing’ with glee.
Doggy Playdates
The Dunedin Doggy Dates initiative also includes doggy playdates, ensuring the pooches have their share of fun. A well-stimulated dog is both mentally and physically healthier, and that’s exactly what the playdates aim for: a great mix of fun, exercise, and socialising for your dogs. In all, this is something that dog owners – and arguably the dogs themselves – look forward to.
With multiple dog-themed activities lined up, from agility games to treasure hunts, there’s no doubt that Dunedin Doggy Dates would be the wagging tail end conclusion to an event-filled month!
