Masquerade Parade Treat Trail 2024

Masquerade Parade an EPIC Spooktacular Trail for 2024

What a Spooktacular event this years Halloween Treat Trail was, so much fun for our kids and community with the whole town coming together.

With Thirty-two businesses and community organisations forming the “Treat Trail” it was the biggest and best yet with huge numbers entering the Haunted Hall for lollies and a scary adventure.

Te Puke Gym Sports set up a circuit which kept the little ones on their toes and The Hits Radio station were going great guns with Jenga & Corn Ball and were handing out twenty buckets of Halloween goodies to the best masks for our Masquerade competition and how awesome was it to see so many home made masks and some stunning face painting.

Did you catch up with “Ironman” – he was stationed outside the hall and a strong contender for most photo opportunities!

The Photobooth set up at the Te Puke Library was a real hit! You could save your capture as a burst, gift or still image.

Congratulations to the winning shops on the trail!

Te Puke Businesses came to the party with so many decorating their shops and shop windows and the winner of Best Window Display as voted by the public was ReeStyle who went to so much effort as did Nordic Mobility in second place, and In Bloom in third with Te Puke Toy Library and Te Puke Library each receiving a Highly Commended for their efforts.

A special thanks to Andy from Rockalicious Events for the Props!

Shop til you drop and food to die for!

Our Food Alley vendors and Halloween Night Market stall holders were kept busy throughout the afternoon and early evening with tasty & devillish food options and great ideas for Christmas from market stall holders.

Thank you to our Volunteers!

We were so delighted to have wonderful, enthusiastic volunteers to help us. Te Puke Fire service sent us four of their cadets as well as a couple of Fire Fighters who all did an awesome job keeping our road crossings safe as did several members of the EPIC Te Puke board, local Councillors Andy Wichers and Laura Rae, Community board stalwart Dale Snell. As always Te Puke High School came to the party with students who had such a great time they volunteered to come back next year!
