For the potluck, please bring a favourite ready-to-serve dish, big enough (6-12 servings) to share. We will also be accepting donations to the Edmonton Food Bank.

Halloween Block Party

For all of you ghosts and ghouls brave enough to face the night, join the Highlands Community League for the first ever Halloween Block Party.

Dance the night away to some great tunes spun by Mr. DJ, warm your fingers and toes by the fire and enjoy some hot apple cider. This is going to be a night to remember!

Get Your Scary FACE On!

Lady Dolphin, famous face painter of the Strathcona Farmer’s Market, will be painting faces in the Program room of the Highlands Community Centre on Halloween.

Kids know that face masks can be clumsy and uncomfortable, not to mention unsafe when crossing roads.  Having your mask painted on, using hypo-allergic paints, allows for clear vision, comfort and a great look.   

Using your costume (please wear it) as inspiration, Lady Dolphin can create the perfect FACE just for you or your little Angel, Tiger, Ghost, Ghoul, Devil, Butterfly, Fairy, Frog or Princess.

Spooky "Tots" Spectacular

Calling all mini ghosts, goblins, princesses & pirates... please join us at the Highlands Community Centre for an indoor opportunity to show off your Halloween costumes, do crafts, play games and enjoy a treat or two. Activities will include a number of different stations including “brave hands”, “bobbin’ for apples (on a string), costume contest, a photo booth and some scary treats.

This event is created specifically with younger children and their parents in mind but all ages are welcome! We hope that everyone will come dressed up and ready for some seriously spooky fun!

Community League Day

In the tradition of an early fall gatherings of yesteryear, a roast beef supper, with corn on the cob and salad will be provided along with all the fixings. To top it off, enjoy pumpkin and apple pie served with whipped cream and a nice cup of coffee, tea or juice.

Bring your family out to partake in great food, local music and artistic expression. Lace up your runners and participate in yoga, zumba, tennis, salsa dancing and hoola hooping classes. The younger children will have a wonderful time playing soccer with mom and dad their team, making a craft, listening to a story or jumping in the toddler bouncy thing.
