Best Hallowe'en Haunts in the Markham Area 

You've picked out your pumpkins and planned your costumes. Now it’s time to embrace the magic of the 2014 Halloween season with fun and frightening events in and around town (or "city").

Get together with friends and enjoy the spooky season socially or grab

the kids and walk or drive around your local haunt and scope out all the decked out homes. Here are some of the best spots to get your ghoul on:

WHITTAMORES – PUMPKINLAND

Halloween isn’t the same without the chance to head to a local farm and choose the perfect pumpkin for jack-o-lanterns!  If you haven't picked your pumpkins yet, Pumpkinland at Markham’s favourite farm satisfies not only the pickiest pumpkin pickers but gives you an excellent opportunity to grab a fresh homemade pumpkin or apple pie on the way out. Open daily to October 31.

The fun is from 5 - 7:00 pm on October 31st at the Pacific Mall:  4300 Steeles Ave East at Kennedy Road  map

MAIN STREET MARKHAM AND UNIONVILLE

The street gets involved as store owners and scary characters hand out treats and tricks to all those who are brave enough to come out. This is the time to go all out on your costume as there will be awards handed out for the best, most original, scariest and cutest ones!
