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

Who’s ready for the annual Boo Bash Halloween celebration?!
It’s that time again…the Boo Bash is back! Celebrate the creepy season in style with the library. We’ll have games like witch hat ring toss and Monster Heads Up, crafts like paper pumpkins and bat suncatchers, ghost stories around a glowing (fake!) campfire, and ending the night with the traditional zombie walk outside as we take over Stratford like a pretend zombie horde!
Zombie Walk and ghost story stations might be scary – be prepared!
Presented by Playmakers! Theatre School
Every Halloween, the Stratford Lantern Parade lights up the night at the Avon River with a parade and walk, and lantern-making stations.
Bring your family, friends & neighbours for a magical evening beside the river.
Hosted by the Civic Beautification and Environmental Awareness Committee
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.
