On October 26th, Chilliwack threw a Halloween bash that had the whole town buzzing. District 1881, with the help of Greendale Acres and Tourism Chilliwack, was transformed with kids in costumes, parents with cameras, and candy everywhere you looked. It was Halloween central and the day unfolded like a well-choreographed haunted house tour. This wasn’t just any family outing; it was a full-throttle dive into Halloween with all the spooktacular trimmings.
From the moment families arrived, our enchanting district became a kid’s Halloween playground. Children in every costume imaginable hopped from shop to shop, filling their trick-or-treat bags with sweets and grinning wider with each sugary stop. The whole area was buzzing with spooky tunes, eerie decorations, and actors who stayed completely in character, making each interaction a mix of fun and fright. Every corner felt alive (or dead?) with Halloween spirit, making for a frightening experience to remember.
The Witch’s Booth was the real showstopper. Little ghouls and goblins lined up for their turn to get a piece of candy and a dose of spooky storytelling from the “witch” herself, who nailed every cackle and hiss with eerie perfection. Between her ominous decor and witchy costume, she had a line of kids circling back for more, wide-eyed and laughing as they collected candy and ghostly tales. This was no quick grab-and-go; the kids were hooked and kept coming back for more treats and Halloween stories.

Parents lined up to capture their kids (and sometimes themselves) against this orange-clad beauty, knowing it would make a frame-worthy memory of their Halloween day out.
