Only a few days before Halloween 2018 and Montreal has already begun to put on its scariest costume. Of course, the city of Montreal and its different neighborhoods give everything they got to make this festive event the most enjoyable for everyone, young and old. Here are some suggestions to enjoy Halloween in the city.
Some classic Halloween activities
Halloween in the Old Montreal
"Pointe-à-Callière Montréal Archaeology and History Complex presents Strange Ghosts of Pointe-à-Callière on October 27 and 28, touring children through archaeological findings and telling haunting – yet tame enough for the young ones – tales of bygone times in Montréal […]", says mtl.org.
Quartier des spectacles
For its very first edition (which will certainly have a second one in 2019), the Halloween Montreal festival presents a thrilling program.
The Zombie Walk was also back this year! Watch social networks to see images.
Museum complex Espace pour la vie
Like every year, the Jardin botanique de Montréal presents the Great Pumpkin Ball where you will be able to see this year's winning pumpkins.
The insectarium offers a frightening exhibition about spiders for the curious and the brave, Spiders Unmasked.
Where to spend Halloween, pick up candy and observe the decorations
Of course, residential neighborhoods with several families are likely to be livelier on the October 1st evening. Therefore, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Plateau Mont-Royal, Villeray, Ahuntsic, Lasalle and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce are good places to go from door to door to collect sweets. These neighborhoods are also fun when you just want to take a stroll and watch decorations.
If you do not go candy hunting with children on the 31st, you might enjoy a walk to go and observe how creatively the major areas of Montreal have dressed up for Halloween this year. The neighborhoods mentioned in the first part of this article are good starting points.
And if, during your Halloween exploration, you find a neighborhood where you feel at home, Accès International probably has several furnished properties for rent in this area. Contact us, we don't bite!
