The annual WZW is happening on Sunday, October 1st at 6 pm. This family-friendly event is open to all ages, and, we will be encouraging donations of non-perishable food items for The Hope Centre and pet food items for Pets Alive Niagara . Remember, everyone, this isn’t just a fun and creepy event, but all for a good cause: helping out our neighbours!

Everyone participating is asked to dress in their best zombie costume and meet in Downtown Welland. This is a family-friendly event and people of all ages are encouraged to participate or just come out to watch!

Meet at the Welland Farmers Market at 6pm.

The WZW starts by 7, making our way through downtown, and returning to the starting point. We will then be selecting some of the best zombie costumes, and awarding prizes for the best ones, with help from the audience. Prizes generously donated by many local businesses and individuals, in a number of  categories.

Our route this year will take us from the Welland Farmers Market to Division Street, crossing at and going up Cross Street, turning onto East Main Street, across Bridge 13, looping back around on to Division Street bridge, following Division Street to Cross Street before retuning to the Welland Farmers Market.

We ask all zombies attending to please follow these guidelines for your safety and everyone’s enjoyment:

*Remain on sidewalks during the walk.
*Please obey all traffic signals and cross at crosswalks.
*No fake weapons.
*No touching spectators or property or vehicles.

And, most of all, have fun!

Let’s make this WZW a fun one for everyone like we all do together every year! Let’s show Welland we care, so please share, and be there!
