Urban Real Estate Marsden Park and Elara Village Shopping Centre welcomed 5,819 people to the 2026 Halloween Night Markets on Saturday, 31 October, marking the eighth year of an event designed to bring neighbours together and create a safer, coordinated night of trick or treating for local families.
Across the Elara estate, 88 registered homes appeared on Urban Real Estate’s Trick or Treat Map, giving families a clear route to households ready to welcome young ghosts, witches, superheroes and monsters, estimating that more than 2,000 trick or treaters took part, while the community cast more than 1,000 votes during the celebration.
The estate-wide program was supported by a Halloween Night Market at Elara Village Shopping Centre, with roaming zombies, free face painting, a 360-degree camera experience, a Halloween disco, market stalls, food, treats, prizes and retailer specials. Urban Real Estate’s signature Pink Treat Car also returned, packed with Halloween treats for visiting families.
Urban Real Estate chief executive officer Katrina Tarrant said the event showed what long-term, practical community involvement could achieve.
“For eight years, this event has grown because local families and participating households have made it their own. Our role is to help create the structure, the partnerships and the safe, welcoming setting that allow those community connections to flourish,” Ms Tarrant said.
Director of sales Trent Brewer said the turnout reflected the depth of local participation behind the night.
“The headline number is 5,819 attendees, but the real measure of success is 88 households opening their doors and thousands of people moving through the estate together. That level of participation says a great deal about the pride people have in Marsden Park and the community they are building here,” Mr Brewer said.
Urban Real Estate Marsden Park residential sales manager Pera Tutua-Nathan said the map and family-focused activities helped make the event easy to navigate and enjoyable for residents and visitors.
“From collecting a map at Urban Real Estate to stopping at the Pink Treat Car and visiting participating homes, families could enjoy the night at their own pace. Seeing neighbours greet one another and children share in the excitement is exactly why this event remains such an important date for our local community,” Mr Tutua-Nathan said.
The annual celebration has attracted media attention over its eight-year history and has been described by organisers as Australia’s largest community Halloween trick or treat event. With Halloween falling on a Saturday in 2026, the collaboration between Urban Real Estate Marsden Park and Elara Village Shopping Centre helped extend the established estate-wide tradition into a broader evening program.
Urban Real Estate Marsden Park and Elara Village Shopping Centre hope to build on this year’s participation and bring the community together again for Halloween in 2027.
