I signed up but want to cancel or change the number of children.
If you cannot make it (or are coming with fewer children) we would appreciate you letting us know that as well. Halloween always fills up quickly and with your cancellation you give another child the opportunity to join. In addition, we register “non-comers” without timely cancellation (=2 days in advance). They run the risk of being excluded from the next activity Cancel or change : send a mail with your participation number and the change to
Is there and how does the reserve list work?
There is currently no reserve list.
It is not yet October 18; why is it full?
The number of participants we can accommodate is determined in part by the municipal permit, available volunteers, budget (Halloween always costs the playground money) and the time it takes to get everyone “off the streets” again. We assume about 400 children or about 900 people in total.
Once that number is reached we will close registration.
What do I get for the 3.00 euros?
The children receive a participation ticket and a participation bag which they have to show everywhere. With this they can get a candy at the approximately 10 candy addresses.
Why do I have to pay?
Playground Oranjekwartier is a volunteer organization that organizes this activity itself. So all costs are for us. Halloween is an activity that for years has cost us more money than it brings in. But since it is the closing of the playground for this year we consider it a thank you to all the children and parents who visited us last year.
Will there be a bar?
From 6 p.m. you can get coffee, soft drinks, beer and wine at the counter. As the season ends for us, the supply of everything is limited.
Can I also buy ice cream and sweets there ?
If so, it is very limited. Usually our supplies are far out
Do I have to sign up myself?
Yes, you can sign up from Wednesday 25-09 until Sunday 13-10 or until we are full (which is usually before then).
Are there any dress or behaviour rules?
There are many young children walking along. Please keep that in mind with your attire and behaviour. The origin of this Orange Quarter Halloween night is to have a fun dress-up cq candy party, not to scare people. All clothing is allowed so even Mega-Mindy, Spiderman or not dressed up!
Stick to the traffic rules and be considerate of your surroundings in behaviour and noise. Not everyone likes Halloween. Avoid discussions and always stay friendly to each other.
Can I sign up for others at the same time?
You can but you have to make your own arrangements. PLEASE NOTE: we will charge you per participation number/registration.
If, for example, you register 6 children of which 2 are yours and the other 4 are not there, you have to pay for 6 children at the ticket office, even if the other children are not there yet! If in doubt, register separately!
So agree well in advance or let people sign up themselves!
How do I arrange for us to walk the same route?
There are two routes called A and B. Agree in advance which route you will take and ask both at the box office.
I forgot to sign up/can I still sign up on the day?
On the evening itself, there is sometimes still room due to a dropout but the enthusiasm for this event is so high that the chances are VERY SMALL.
Can I bring and leave the children with you?
No, you cannot. You remain responsible yourself and must provide supervision. This tour goes through the neighbourhood (on the street outside the playground). Being accompanied by someone aged 18 or over is compulsory.
I have not received an acknowledgement of receipt?
The receipt confirmation usually follows within 4 hours of your registration. If you have not received it, it may be that you have not provided the correct e-mail address. Or there is a space after or before your mail address.
Do NOT sign up again but send your details (name and e-mail address) to
I have not received a mail with participation number?
These will be sent from 6 October and repeated again on 20 October. Was your address correct? Check facebook or the website to see if there might be a delay (we post regular Halloween updates). If you do not have a participation number then you cannot participate.
If you think it is really wrong please send an email with the previously received receipt to
Keep in mind that this too is voluntary work; it may sometimes take a while for us to read your message.
I am not a member; can I participate?
YES! Playground Oranjekwartier has no members; anyone can join.
I would like to be candy address; how do I do that?
Information about being a candy address can be found on our website: https://www.oranje-kwartier.nl/index.php?view=article&id=847:halloween-snoepadres-2024&catid=83
Why does the ages say ‘approximately’?
Children, fortunately, can vary a lot. Some are already very sensible at age 3 and others still like to play along at 14. We also like to make room for children with (mental) disabilities, regardless of age.
Is it a long route?
The route is not known at the moment. We estimate you will walk for about an hour (depending on age and the programme at the candy addresses.
Communication?
Only via
Sign up
UPDATE 9-10: WE ARE FULL - its not possible to register anymore
Sign up only if you have read and agree with all the information and you are SURE you will come on that night.
While signing up, you may choose a time slot or leave the choice to us(no preference). Do you want to come early because of a young child? Then also fill in the age of the youngest child.
It is not guaranteed that you will get the time slot you ask for. We allocate around 15-20 people per 15-minute period.
Please fill in the form carefully. We notice in many activities that the e-mail address is typed incorrectly.
