If you’re looking for some family friendly scares you can find them later this month as part of the city’s annual Halloween Spooktacular.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., The Bowes will be home to a haunted house surely to strike fear and glee into ghouls of all ages. In addition, there will be family friendly entertainment, a costume contest and free hot dog lunch if the candy supply is lacking.
Just in time for the afternoon sugar rush, the celebration moves outdoors from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. with trick-or-treating at participating downtown businesses along 100 Avenue between 99 Street and 101 Street.
For the first time, A special Gentle Ghouls Sensory Hour will also be held 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in The Bowes, and is designed to provide a quieter environment for families and children with sensory sensitivities to enjoy the Halloween experience.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the Halloween Spooktacular brings families together to celebrate the season in a way that feels safe, welcoming and connected.
“It’s a tradition that highlights the spirit of our community and the energy of our downtown. We are grateful to the Downtown Association and local businesses for their commitment to making this event such a memorable experience for families year after year.”
All the fun takes place October 25th and you can find more information on the City of Grande Prairie website.
