Niagara Parks

Heritage staff at Niagara Parks’ Old Fort Erie are busily preparing some fun family-friendly, Halloween-themed events that will leave you spellbound. Start a new Halloween tradition by taking part in the haunted ghost tours of the Old Fort, or enjoy a classic Halloween film, screened in the eerily charming Visitor Centre theatre.

Experience Halloween during the War of 1812 era, as Old Fort Erie is brought to life by ghost stories of the fallen soldiers who may or may not remain on Canada’s bloodiest battlefield.

Be prepared for a fun and frightening evening, ending with refreshments and the annual burning of the Guy Fawkes effigy at 8:30 p.m.
