Trick-or-Treating is not for the faint of heart. Children seem to have boundless energy on Halloween night; a mixture of the novelty of running the streets in the dark and the anticipation of collecting as much candy as humanly possible. However, this enthusiasm, especially after a day of work for many parents, can be exhausting. Add in a little rain and what is supposed to be an exciting evening can lead to a series of unfortunate events.
That’s where inside Trick-or-Treating events come in! These events are perfect for those with less stamina to run the whole night, or parents who prefer a clear start and end time. Not to mention, the safety aspect of a well-lit (sometimes indoor!) space to safely collect treats. With so many families living in neighbourhoods or buildings that are not conducive to running door-to-door, this is the perfect compromise. Since Halloween falls on a Tuesday this year, some of the events are conveniently scheduled on the weekend so you don’t have to rush around on a school night. We’ve rounded up a list of organized Trick or Treat events across Metro Vancouver for all you ghouls and goblins to check out!
Central City Halloween Party
On October 31st, Central City welcomes families with kids 12 and under to a fun, FREE event. In partnership with the Surrey BIA, kids will enjoy face painting and arts and crafts from 3pm-4pm. From 4pm-6pm, goodie bags will be handed out and face painting will resume. If your kids love Belle or Batman, they are in for a treat as these two characters stop by the Halloween display from 4pm-6pm to snap photos with kids and families.
