Welcome to October, Canberra! The clocks have sprung forward, the days are starting to feel like spring is here, and the city is alive with a fantastic energy. After the busy spring school holidays, parents often feel a mix of relief that term has started and a slight panic about fitting in all the fun before the year ends. It’s coming fast!
But let's be honest: October isn't just a bridge between seasons; it’s one of the best months of the year for kids’ parties! With perfect outdoor weather, a long weekend, and the spooky fun of Halloween just around the corner, this month is packed with celebration opportunities.
At Mollycoddle Parties, your favourite mobile party service in the ACT, we're here to help you tap into that October magic and plan a truly unforgettable event—without the stress.
Capture the Last of the Long Weekend Fun
For many Canberra families, the Labour Day Public Holiday on the first Monday of October marks the start of the busy event season. Whether your child has an early October birthday or you just want to take advantage of the three-day weekend, this is a prime opportunity for a hassle-free party.
Embrace the Spooky Season with a Halloween Twist
Halloween (October 31st) falls right at the end of the month, making it a great, ready-made theme for any late October birthday, event or a fun neighbourhood gathering.
The Weather is Pure Perfection
October gives us sunshine (finger crossed)—it's warm enough for a t-shirt but not yet scorchingly hot like mid-summer. This makes it the absolute ideal time for an outdoor celebration.
