Footscray will play host to electrifying magic, burlesque, fire, circus, and more this Friday night as the hugely popular Halloween-themed cabaret show, Sins of the West, returns for 2025.

Held at a well-known LGBTQ+ venue Pride of Our Footscray, Sins of the West is a 90-minute show hosted by Cassidy La Creme and featuring some of Melbourne’s best cabaret performers.

If previous years are any guide, patrons should prepare to witness anything on stage, with angle grinders, sword swallowing, even a live snake featuring in the past.

In order to avoid missing any of the action, audience members are encouraged to arrive, order drinks and be seated before the show starts at 8.30pm on 31 October.

Once the show is over, they can stick around afterwards for a late night boogie on the dance floor and to enjoy some more spooky drag shows from Sam T and LUMA.
