Welcome To November
When it comes to entertainment and events for the whole family, November is one of the best months of the year in our local community, with a full calendar of fun set for the Campbelltown/Macarthur region.

Here is our pick of our favourite events for the month for you to enjoy.
FESTIVAL OF FISHER’S GHOST
When: From 10AM, Friday 1st – Sunday 10th November
Where: Various locations in Campbelltown. Check Program for details of each event.
Cost: Free Entry
History meets horror at this locally haunted ten-day Halloween fair
Australia’s only apparition-focused festival is setting up spooks in Sydney once again. The Festival of Fisher’s Ghost has been taking over Campbelltown since 1956 with a host of free, quirky events around the region commemorating emancipated convict Fred Fisher, who’s said to have appeared to police in 1826 in post-living form to guide them to his remains and murderer.
This year, the celebrations are running from November 1-10, kicking into gear on Queen Street for the annual parade on Saturday, November 4. The parade showcases the legend of Fisher’s Ghost, a unique part of Campbelltown’s history, and the diversity of the local community in a vast array of creative forms. It’s energetic, lively and colourful, and this year the parade theme is: We Could Be Heroes.
This will be a ghostly affair and attendees are encouraged to dress to a theme, with this year’s party celebrating heroes in all their forms, from Wonder Woman to local emergency service workers and volunteers.
The following weekend there’ll be a huge street fair, which in the past has seen hundreds of stalls offering food, show bags, handmade jewellery and fashion, as well as a play zone for families and kids.
For those with more of a fierce constitution, there’s thrilling carnival rides and games on Bradbury Oval throughout the festivities. Other festival highlights include Nerd Con (a sci-fi and fantasy gathering similar to Oz Comic-Con), the opening night of the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award exhibition on November 1, and the fun run that’ll round out the festivities on November 10.
