Sydneysiders are encouraged to join the one-night-only finale of this year’s Sydney Rides Festival. 

On Saturday 27 October, spooks, spokes and special effects will transform and illuminate Mrs Macquaries Road for a traffic-free Halloween street party for ghouls of all ages. 

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said Light the City was the perfect way for families and visitors to get on their bikes and experience Sydney in a new light.

"The Sydney Rides Festival is a month-long celebration of bikes and riding in our city," the Lord Mayor said.

"Light the City is the most popular event at the Sydney Rides Festival for a very good reason - what other time can families take over Mrs Macquaries Road and walk or cycle through lights and lasers to an open air dance floor?" she added. 

According to the City of Sydney, the 2.5km Light the City traffic-free loop will feature a glitter ball arena, a glowing rainbow path, a tunnel of twinkling lights and lasers, and animated light beams along Mrs Macquaries Road.

Children are invited to join a Halloween costume parade at 7pm, as well as the face painting and bling-your-bike sessions.

Moreover, festival goers will be able to join the roller racing, dance the night away at a water-front silent disco, and get a picture perfect souvenir from the Instagram printers.
