With Hallowe’en a scant few days away, let’s break down and run down all the spooky Edmonton activities for you boils and ghouls.
(This is also a good time to discuss whether you think Hallowe’en should have an apostrophe.)
I’m actually surprised (shocked? scared?) by the amount of events and happenings in my neck of the woods. First example: ghost tours of Old Strathcona. It also appears to be the Dead Centre of Town. The TransAlta Arts Barns are showing The Bone House, and on Hallowe’en night there’s the Fringe Fright Night.
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has Halloween: The Concert and Spooktacular!
The Art Gallery of Alberta will be haunted on October 31.
Even the Edmonton Opera is going to a dark place.
There’s always a haunted house or two.
Radio stations The Bear, Sonic 102.9 and The Bounce all have costume-heavy parties.
A number of Edmonton Public Library branches are doing family-friendly stuff.
West Edmonton Mall is even getting into the spooky spirit. (It also hosts the events for The Bounce and Sonic.)
And the Edmonton Corn Maze has become the Farm of Fear.
If I missed anything, or you are just looking for something else, you’ll want to hit up dEdmonton. They’re pretty much the centre of all things Hallowe’en+Edmonton.
Oh, and there’s always dressing up in a costume and going around asking for candy on Saturday. If you’re into that kind of thing.
