Many of the performers also looked suitably spooky in their costumes.

Giant games have been set up in Main Street, including inflatable ten pin bowling and hopscotch, so be sure to head down to have a turn.

Also, live music is being provided thanks to a variety of local musicians.

Tidy Towns representatives are manning the Skull Cave, and are also taking silent bids for the auction of the fantastic artworks on display in the cave.

Cafes are also embracing the day, with on street dining proving popular with patrons 

FOR weeks Lithgow has been preparing for the annual Halloween Block Party.

In its second year the inaugural party last year saw the whole town, and then some, turn out for some trick or treating.

A zombie wedding took place to the delight of all who attended and the party kicked on until late in the evening.

This year the top end of Main Street has been closed to traffic to accommodate the hoards expected throughout the day and evening.

The Lithgow Mercury will have rolling coverage throughout the entire day and evening so stay tuned for some fun and antics as Halloween 2014 kicks off.  

ROAD CLOSURES: Main Street between Bridge Street and Eskbank Street. Detours are in place.
