Calendar

A fall trip to the farmyard is an annual tradition for many families and friends. In addition to enjoying hours of fun on the farm, pumpkins are on display for photos and for purchase.

Evenings provide a relaxed and casual opportunity to enjoy the farm fully illuminated. Plus, there are tons of pumpkins for photos and purchase.

Canada's largest Halloween Festival includes all new pumpkin displays, live pumpkin carving demonstrations, treats and sweets and photo ops.

The annual Banff Pride Festival program is live, serving an extraordinary lineup of live performance, music, all-ages programming, and a healthy dose of OUTdoor adventure.

. ScreamFest is Canada’s largest and scariest Halloween event. At ScreamFest you will experience haunted houses, Halloween-themed carnival games, creepy and disturbing entertainment, and fear at GMC Stadium.

Kicking off on October 15th, join us at Southcentre Mall for an unforgettable celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a vibrant Mexican holiday that brings families together to honour and remember loved ones who have passed. Our exciting schedule of events will showcase the richness of Latin American culture through art, music, dance, and more. This year’s event is presented in collaboration with Casa Mexico Foundation as part of Latin American Heritage Month in Canada. From October 15-November 2, experience a special display in Southcentre's Centre Court, including a Dia de los Muertos altar, special info walls, and artwork from local artists. Crafted by the talented duo Faby and Oscar Rios, The Afterparty is a lively folk art piece made from papier-mâché. This Dia de los Muertos-themed artwork celebrates the belief that joy extends beyond life. It depicts a vibrant scene with a couple dancing to a mariachi band, embracing the spirit of life even in death. The colorful piece beautifully captures the essence of Mexican traditions and the enduring nature of celebration.
