We want you to have a Spooktacular weekend and celebrate some Halloween family fun! From baking some sweet treats to watching scary movies all night, it’s time to turn the spooky up and get this monster mash party started. Check out these fun activities to do on Halloweekend this year!
Spook up your home!
Skulls, pumpkins and spiders, oh my! It’s your year to go all out on Halloween decorations. Deck your home inside and out with all the creepy décor you can find – the kids will love it! Feeling crafty? You can get your hands on so many fun DIY projects on Pinterest! Try cutting Halloween shapes out of black and orange construction paper, or painting a pumpkin your favourite colour. Make ghosts out of white tissue paper, or design a creepy centrepiece. The sky really is the limit when it comes to Halloween decorations – the weirder the better!
Attend a TOT PARADE at The Museum
Bring your little ghouls and goblins downtown this Halloween for THEMUSEUM’s Annual Tot Parade! Perfect for children three and under, this family-friendly event kicks off at 10:30 AM with a craft to decorate your very own goodie bag, followed by a festive parade at 11:00 AM through Downtown Kitchener’s local businesses. Toddlers can trick-or-treat in a safe, fun environment while parents and caretakers enjoy the community spirit. Pre-registration is highly encouraged as spots are limited — reserve your tickets today and get ready for a spooktacular morning of costumes, treats, and family fun! Click here!
Stir Up Some Spooky Sweets
Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! Halloween is all about treating yourself. Try something creative like these creepy brownie bites… spooky and delicious! Then, balance out your chocolate binge with bell pepper pumpkins – we love this trick for making veggies fun on Halloween. Simply de-stem the inside and cut a jack o’ lantern face on the side of the pepper. Cut up your favourite vegetables and there you have it – a spooky way to serve a healthy snack. You can find both of these recipes on Tasty.
Don’t forget about the drinks! Did you know there’s such thing as a “creepy” Shirley Temple? Yes, you read that right- this sweet and innocent mocktail can turn scary with some fun props. For the adults, turn the mocktail into a cocktail with a splash of Vodka! You find this recipe and more creepy mocktail ideas on Town & Country.
Don’t Miss a Hauntingly Good Time
Get ready for a night of spooky fun at Block Three Brewing! On Friday, October 31st from 6–9 PM, enjoy live music from our friends Somethings Always Flying while celebrating Halloween in style. Dress up in your best costume for a chance to win prizes and join the community for an evening filled with music, laughter, and festive spirit. Don’t miss this hauntingly good time! Click here!
