Ghosts, goblins and ghouls will descend on Gunnedah as a zombie walk comes to life for the ‘Night of the Walking Dead’.

Gunnedah Shire Council is encouraging the community to dress up in their spookiest and funniest Halloween costumes to participate in the family-friendly, ‘Night of the Walking Dead’ march on Saturday, October 28.
Participants are asked to bring a gold coin donation, with all proceeds donated to Can Assist.

“Night of the Walking Dead will be a gathering of people dressed as zombies or in halloween costumes walking en masse through the Gunnedah CBD while raising money for Can Assist,” Gunnedah Shire Council Arts and Cultural Officer Lauren Mackley said.

“The idea behind the march is to increase community engagement and cultural experiences in Gunnedah, while having fun – it’s an event for the whole community to enjoy and to be a part of a visual phenomenon.

“Can Assist is hosting its annual Halloween Debutante Ball on the same evening at the Gunnedah Town Hall and participants of the Zombie Walk will gather briefly at the hall to welcome guests to the ball.”

Those in the Halloween spirit are asked to meet at the Gunnedah Post Office at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start on Saturday, 28 October with the march to take place down Conadilly Street ending at The Civic Theatre at approximately 7pm, where new movie Bladerunner 2049 will be screened from 7.45pm.
