Halloween at Manly

Halloween is traditionally a festival that originated from the Pagan festival Samhain.

This was celebrated among the Celts of Ireland. Immigrants transported the tradition to North America and a holiday is now celebrated.

Cultural traditions believe that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent.

Dressing up is so the evil spirits cannot determine good from evil and leave all alone.

Manly Harbour Village is holding a Halloween Street Party tonight.

A street parade at dusk will be followed by ‘Movies in the Park’ showing the animated version of ‘Haunted House’ rated G.

Entry is a $2 donation.
