There’s a lot more to Halloween than candy! And Montreal has many tricks up its sleeve to help kids and grown-ups alike celebrate in a unique way. At the end of October, the metropolis hosts all kinds of special events promising pumpkins, disguises and a few scares. From the Botanical Gardens’ popular Gardens of Light and La Ronde’s now-traditional Fright Fest to themed activities with the animals at the Ecomuseum Zoo, the celebrations are shaping up to be memorable once again!

In the fall, parks and green spaces all over the Island of Montreal slowly turn yellow, orange and red, inviting you to enjoy a moment in nature and a surprising change of scenery. These parks can be found both in the heart of downtown and in the suburbs and become havens of peace for picnicking, strolling, cycling or simply relaxing. From Cap St-Jacques in the West Island to the Île-de-la-Visitation nature park and the iconic Mount Royal, Montreal’s parks all offer something special to brighten up your fall! Be sure to stop off at a market to sample the season’s bounty.
