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.

Meanwhile, Greendale Acres’ Pumpkin House stole the show as the ultimate Halloween photo op. The structure, clad head-to-toe in pumpkins, was nothing short of magical and offered families a picture-perfect fall backdrop. 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.
For parents on the lookout for a Halloween event that was safe, family-friendly, and packed with personality, District 1881 hit the mark. Every piece of the event, from trick-or-treating to the live characters, spooky displays, and carefully crafted decorations, added to the fun and made the day unforgettable. It’s no surprise that this event has become a family favourite in Chilliwack.
But don’t pack away that camera just yet! The holiday magic isn’t over—Christmas in District 1881 is just around the corner. Chilliwack is about to be blanketed in holiday cheer, and this will be another can’t-miss event. When it comes to things to do in Chilliwack, District 1881 is where the holiday magic happens.
