Halloween Event Guide Sponsored by Pickering Museum Village

BOO! Yes, it’s time again for Halloween season! For some people, their favourite part of Halloween is the thrills and chills, while some people spend all year planning their costumes, and (let’s face it) most kids just want candy. Whatever your flavour, there’s also a jack-o-lantern-filled amount of events to partake in, from pumpkin displays, to parties and more. To add some history to your Halloween fun, be sure to check out at the Trick or Treat at PMV special event at the open-air Pickering Museum Village! Have a treat with our scare-ific, freak-alicious Spooktacular Halloween Event Guide for Toronto and the GTA…

Note: Most of these events are family-friendly, but there may still be a frightening element. Feel free to contact the event venue if you’re not sure whether an event will suit your family.
