Join us for trick or treating! Spooktacular fun for the whole family!

Get ready for a frightfully fun day in the heart of Bowness. Bring the whole family (and your pets) for a community Halloween celebration filled with spooky surprises and delicious treats.

Here’s what’s brewing:

• Trick-or-Treat along Mainstreet from 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM – Grab your treat bag and explore participating businesses for candy and surprises.

• Costume Fun - kids, adults & pets! Come dressed in your best Halloween costume.

• Pet Paw-rade - dress your fur baby up and stroll down the “red carpet” in our pet paw-rade.

• Selfies with YYC Princesses – Meet your favourite princesses for the ultimate magical photo op.

• Scarecrow Festival – Cast your vote for your favourite scarecrow. Scan the QR code throughout Mainstreet to cast your vote.

• Shop Local Vendors – Discover amazing treasures from our local community.

Come in costume and bring your friends and family for a hauntingly good time on Mainstreet Bowness. We can’t wait to see you there.

Grab your broomsticks, gather your coven, and dust off that witchy wardrobe because the witches are taking over Mainstreet Bowness!

Join us for an afternoon/evening of spooky fun, delicious food, drinks, dancing, and a little friendly competition as we visit four amazing Bowness businesses.

Whether you’re a wicked witch, a glamorous sorceress, a retired witch who still has a few spells left in her, or just someone looking for a good time with friends - everyone is welcome!

Here’s How the Magic Happens

We’ll kick things off with a witch dance tutorial led by a professional instructor! Never danced before? Perfect. Neither have half the witches in the coven.

Don’t feel like dancing? No problem! You can sit back, watch, cheer us on, and judge everyone’s broomstick technique from the sidelines.

After our dance lesson, we’ll divide into groups and rotate through four Mainstreet Bowness venues approximately every 45 minutes. Each location will have special food and drink offerings exclusively for our witches.

And yes… costumes are highly encouraged. The bigger the hat, the better. But subtle witches are welcome too!
