🍬👻 Join us again for Downtown HALLOWEEN FUN this year. We’re trick-or-treating across the downtown core on Saturday, October 25th from 2-4pm. Because every kid (or dog) wants a chance to show off their awesome costume more than once.
Check HERE for the list of Downtown Businesses handing out candy, treats and non-food items!
But if one of your favourite downtown locations aren’t on the list, they may still participate. Look for the poster in the store window.
We are going to have a blast throughout the month of October. Our Trick or Treat event isn’t the ONLY thing happening downtown.

GHOST TOURS
Be prepared to learn dark tales from Stratford’s past as Stratford Walking Tours: Ghost Edition embark on a walking tour showcasing haunted stories from the past.
From a haunted hotel, to a spirit that roams the Avon Theatre to the Stratford Jail — you’ll be informed and entertained on this hour long stroll through the streets of downtown Stratford.
Their ghost tours will also run throughout the month of October. For the schedule and to purchase tickets go to Stratford Walking Tours TICKETS.
OTHER SCARY FUN
Come get a pumpkin or two, a bag of popcorn, and a pic at the photo booth at Sutton Realty’s Pumpkin Giveaway.
Stratford Public Library hosts their BOO BASH with fun fall crafts, ghoulish games, the Zombie Walk, and ghost stories.
Stratford Lantern Parade lights up the night at the Avon River with a parade and walk, and lantern-making stations.
PUMPKIN PARADE
Halloween is the gift that goes on… – and doesn’t stop on the 31st. Come downtown and into Market Square on November 1st from 4- 8pm to see the jack o’lanterns on display one last time. It’s quite a spectacle.
Drop your pumpkins off in the afternoon (setup and pumpkin drop-off occurring throughout the day).
NOTE: Please don’t paint or add any objects to your creations. After their final lighting they’re being whisked off to a local farm and fed to (very happy) pigs.
