A 22-foot-tall, glowing Jack-o-Lantern will light up the night sky at this fall fair in Toronto

Experience the joys of the spookiest holiday of the year, all under one roof… or rather, parking lot. Halloween Nights of Lights returns this September with a thrilling light show, a pumpkin pop-up and a brand new haunted maze.

Back for its sixth year, Halloween Nights of Lights and the fabulous fall experience, Pumpkinville, have been completely reimagined for 2025. It’s all going down at CF Sherway Gardens, in the parking lot just across from the old Hudson’s Bay and Cactus Club.

Its brand-new layout lets you move freely between the immersive light show and fall festival experiences.

What to expect

Start your adventure through the illuminated maze of over 1.5 million lights, then head on over into Pumpkinville, where you can enjoy a vibrant fall fair featuring new photo ops, installations, midway rides, carnival games, and over 15,000 pumpkins.

What I would definitely consider being the showstopper of this festival is Mini Milo. Don’t let its name fool you! This massive glowing Jack-o-lantern is over 22 feet tall. If you wanted to get the best fall photo, here’s where to get it.

The fun doesn’t end there! There’s also an all-new, 5,000-square-foot, dystopian, haunted maze. Considering how spooky it can get, it’s best suited for teens and adults. But if you want all the fun and no scare, the maze will be open until 7 p.m., free of actors.

Other goodies to look out for include:

  • a pumpkin patch
  • photo ops
  • axe throwing
  • pumpkin smash
  • pumpkin launch
  • pumpkin carving
  • fortune tellers
  • dog-friendly dates
  • carnival games
  • amusement rides
  • inflatables
  • licensed bars
  • food trucks
  • oddities vendors and more

Tickets

Tickets are on sale and start at $13.99 for Pumpkinville entry only or $20.99 for both the light show and Pumpkinville.

The ultimate fall experience opens to the public on Sept. 27, 2025.

Don’t skip out on your year pumpkin patch pic!
