The Awakening!

Release the Spirit of Monster Month at “The Awakening”: Elora’s Spooktacular Monster Month Begins!

On the evening of October 3, the Elora Green Space comes alive with eerie enchantment as The Awakening launches this year’s Monster Month! Step into a world of ghoulish fun where zombies roam, spirits stir, and surprises await at every turn.

Guided by our waggish Master of Ceremonies, Prince Pilkington and his humble servant, Nicholtwp, the evening builds to the dramatic release of the Spirit of Monster Month.

There will be mist and fog, mysterious sounds, music, light, dance, and dramedy, all there to distract you before the scarifying finale.

Of course, dress for the occasion. It’s a sort of funereal celebration of monstrous proportions. Be spooky, silly, or spectacular, whatever the ‘Spirit’ moves you to wear.

Bonus! Meet Tim Murton, creator of the Twilight Zoo.  Yes, he is responsible for the creatures perched around the town. He has a lot to answer for!

• Our Photo Booth is ready for your best side. Warning, monsters love to photo-bomb!
• Our booth will offer free tattoos for kids (nothing permanent), merch, and Monster Month event info.
• Take a walkabout to meet the GreenSpace monsters in person.  You can even name them. Think of them as cuddly pets! (or not)
• Elora’s own Pumpkin-eater, Sir P. Scareguard will be dreadfully pleased to take you on a tour through the village to meet the creatures.  A donation to the foodbank is all it takes!
• Oooh, there’s a Trivia Night at the Elora Legion!
• Check out the shops,  restaurants, and bars for special Monster Month treats.  Cocktails and even Mocktails make Monsters seem friendly, for a while anyway…..
• The Gorge Cinema has appropriately scary films on.

Then explore the town for even more monster-inspired magic. It’s the perfect kickoff to a month filled with mayhem, mystery, and fun for all.
