Autumn is here, and that means plenty of fun experiences at Central City! It might be dark and cold outside, but inside Central City, the fun is just heating up with Diwali, Halloween, and family-friendly activities to warm up the cool autumn days.  Whether you’re looking to celebrate the Festival of Light, participate in family-friendly activities, or enjoy trick-or-treating indoors this year, Central City has something for the whole family leading up to Halloween!

October 18th kicks off a festive season of community, connection, and a whole lot of fun! Celebrate Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, with a vibrant dance performance that highlights the colours, energy, and pure joy of Diwali. Whether you celebrate Diwali in your family or you’re looking to learn more about this cultural festival, this is bound to be an upbeat and exciting event for all ages!

Next, mark your calendar because Central City is hosting a spooktacular Halloween extravaganza that is not to be missed! On October 31st, Central City welcomes families to a fun, FREE event. Kids will enjoy face painting and arts and crafts, and special meet-and-greets with exciting characters, such as Princess Belle, Elphaba and Glinda! Snap a faBOOlous photo at one of the many festive decor spots and make this a Halloween to remember! Plus, what’s a Halloween party without trick-or-treating?! Central City shops displaying a Trick or Treat window sign are participating in trick-or-treating, while quantities last. Kids can zip around collecting candy in their full costumes, and parents can relax knowing that it’s safe, warm, and dry inside the shopping centre, so they don’t have to brave the dark and the rain going from house to house! End your Halloween on a high note with a bag full of delicious treats to take home and enjoy.

With Thanksgiving, Diwali, and Halloween all happening in October, the month is bound to race by, and then we’re on our way to the next set of holidays! Kick off your holiday shopping on November 14-15 with a holiday shopping event that will not only provide plenty of gifting ideas but also treat you to some luxury gifts. At Givenchy: Art of Gifting, treat yourself to special gifts and personalized perfume bottles as you start your holiday shopping with festive music playing in the background.

Autumn flies by fast, and parents know that while holidays and special gifts are important memory-makers, nothing is more important than giving your child the tools for success in education. On November 19, Central City Mall is partnering with the Surrey School District to bring The Early Years Fair! Here, parents will learn key skills in promoting play-based learning and fun. Resources on ways to support development and growth, along with fun community ideas and connections, will also be available to families.
