The Spooky Village is the central get-together on the Maasstraat where YOU can host a Halloween stand. While papa's and mama's get themselves a drink and talk to the neighbours, the village offers more Halloween fun for kids. Think of face-painting, a creepy (yet kid-friendly) experience or a spooky game. All in exchange for ... candy (or just for good old fun).
We have 15 spots available in the village at the Maasstraat. You bring your own stand (a blanket / table ... all is ok) to perform your own-built service for the children. We encourage you to be creative and spooky! For some inspiration you can look here.
We will mark The Spooky Village on the map and the location will be centered in the heart of the Rivierenbuurt, so you will have enough crowd passing by. The area has enough streetlights for good vision and it will be dark enough (when the sun is down) for the right touch of spookiness.
We will try to arrange parasols in case of rain and you can always ask us to support you with tables / chairs (we are in touch with the restaurants in the Maasstraat).

Last years we realized that hosting a self-made activity is a nice way for older children - who feel 'too big' for trick or treat (but still like the candy) - to join the event. And for enthusiastic parents with kids a bit too young to do a long round of trick or treat. But obviously it is open to anyone!
Good to know: you will have to occupy your stand the entire evening. So if you want to walk around with your kids, make sure another parent / friend can take over hosting the activity for you. This way we assure a lively village.
