Ontario has an unofficial Halloween town & it transforms in spooky season

Spooky season is around the corner and one region, in particular, goes all out every year. Elora and Fergus are bringing back their annual Monster Month and it’s a marathon of all things Halloween!

As September gives way to October, these charming historic towns start to resemble Halloween towns with spooky creatures around every corner.

Even the heritage homes that are so whimsical in the summertime seem to have a “haunted” vibe as the leaves change colour.

This September, spooky season will kick off with an Enchanted Forest event in Fergus, featuring music, magic, and artscapes in a real forest.

Ghost walks and lantern tours in both towns will give you an in-depth tour of their spooky history.

The fun truly begins in October with a Pumpkin Day event on October 7th – you’ll be carving jack-o-lanterns to take home and put on your porch!

Other events include the enchanted Psychic Faire and Totally 80s Halloween Party.
