Spooks, Snacks & Spectacular Lights At Jeff & Leon's Halloween House Party

Once again, Jeffrey Lunn and Leon McCormack’s infamous Halloween Party will spook and delight the community next Friday, the 31st of October for an evening of costumes and candy, complete with iconic scary season decorations, music and an unparallel atmosphere!

The pair first came up with the idea to introduce a haunting Halloween Party after witnessing firsthand the extravagant displays put on in the United States whilst on holiday, and after some planning, Jeff and Leon debuted their very first Halloween Party back in 2017 and never looked back!

Now in its 9th year, next week’s Halloween Party promises to be nothing short of spooktacular, with the wonderful Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club set to be in attendance to fire up the barbeque and serve soft drinks from 6:30pm onwards. As always, free candy, snow cones, popcorn and fairy floss will be on offer for all to indulge in, as well as plenty of good vibes and spooky tunes to get the community into the scary season spirit!

Annually celebrated, Jeff and Leon have been wowing the community for almost 20 years, crafting together amazing light displays for celebrations like Christmas and Halloween for the entire community to enjoy and admire! What started off small many moons ago, quickly turned into a huge attraction, with cars often lining both sides of the street as families flooding to the corner of Edwards and Darwin Street for the annual celebrations.

Since first flicking the switch in 2008, the pair have been celebrated and commended for their commitment to bringing waves of joy and contagious spirit to the community. In 2024, Jeff and Leon were recognised for their amazing work at the 2024 Burdekin Shire Council Australia Day Awards where they were presented with the title of Community Event of the Year for their 2023 Christmas Lights Display!

Plenty of preparation goes into each light display, and the pair continue to introduce new decorations in an effort to top the previous year’s extravaganza.

The entire community is warmly welcomed to attend next week’s Halloween Party, dress in their most spooktacular costumes, and enjoy an evening of trick or treating in style!
