Haunted Happenings: Tricks, Treats and Traditions

Gather the whole family for some charming old-fashioned Halloween fun at the Oakville Museum! Young visitors can follow their very own Halloween Passport as it guides them throughout the historic estate and grounds to take part in festive activities, crafts, outdoor games, and seasonal surprises. 

Travel through centuries of Halloween traditions on a delightfully spirited guided tour of Erchless Estate. Enjoy a bit of creative mischief with a festive Halloween craft. Settle in with complimentary popcorn and warm apple cider as you enjoy a delightful selection of classic silent movie shorts and vintage Halloween cartoons at the Coach House. Wander over to our enchanted gingerbread cottage to collect a sweet treat and have your fortune told by our resident friendly witch. 

Costumes are highly encouraged, so come dressed as your favourite ghost, goblin, or storybook character and join in the festive spirit. It’s a magical mix of nostalgic entertainment, historic charm, and family-friendly Halloween memories sure to delight visitors of every age.
