6 Halloween Events in Toronto for Adults in 2026
Looking for Halloween events in Toronto for adults in 2026? The city has haunted attractions, horror films, street parties, and a late-night harbour cruise throughout October. In addition, Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, which gives you a full weekend to celebrate. Several major events also start earlier in the month, so there is no need to fit every plan into one night. Overall, this guide covers six confirmed options, from Canada’s Wonderland and Casa Loma to Halloween on Church, Toronto After Dark, Screemers, and a 19+ boat party.
Editor’s Note: Ticketing rules, capacity limits, and operating hours can change as Halloween approaches, so always review the official event pages before buying tickets or heading out.
Halloween Events in Toronto for Adults
Halloween Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland
At Canada’s Wonderland, Halloween Haunt turns the park into a nighttime scream park with rides, live shows, six haunted mazes, and seven outdoor scare zones. First, you need regular park admission. After that, the mazes require a separate Haunted Attractions Pass, while The Conjuring: Beyond Fear is a separate experience that lasts about 20 minutes.
- Dates: Select nights, September 25 – November 1, 2026
- Location: Canada’s Wonderland, 1 Canada’s Wonderland Drive, Vaughan
- Cost: Date-specific park admission is required; maze passes start at $10, and The Conjuring: Beyond Fear starts at $30, plus fees and taxes
- Website: Canada’s Wonderland Halloween Haunt
Editor’s Note: Note that the six mazes require a separate Haunted Attractions Pass, and chaperone policies also apply after 4 p.m.
Screemers at Assembly Park
Screemers is built for groups who want several haunts in one visit instead of a single walkthrough. In fact, general admission covers all seven mazes plus unlimited rides on the Midway of Madness, so it is easy to plan a full night out.
- Dates: Selected nights, October 9–31, 2026
- Location: Assembly Park, 80 Interchange Way, Vaughan
- Cost: $44.95–$54.95 plus HST depending on the date, while Fast Pass upgrades cost extra
- Website: Screemers tickets and 2026 dates
Editor’s Note: Prices go up on Halloween weekend, so book an earlier October night if you are on a budget.
Legends of Horror at Casa Loma
Casa Loma’s Legends of Horror turns the historic castle grounds, tunnels, and lower gardens into a two-kilometre self-guided theatrical route. Along the way, you will see live actors, projections, and detailed sets. In addition, timed entry slots help keep crowds manageable.
- Dates: Select dates, October 3–31, 2026
- Location: Casa Loma, 1 Austin Terrace, Toronto (event entrance at Davenport Road and Walmer Road)
- Cost: $45 online / $50 onsite (Oct 3–15); $55 online / $60 onsite (Oct 16–31); VIP packages are also available
- Website: Legends of Horror official website
Editor’s Note: Since the 2-kilometre route includes stairs, uneven ground, and low-light sections, wear comfortable shoes.
Halloween on Church
Halloween on Church is a free, pedestrian-focused street celebration in the Church-Wellesley Village. The event draws large costume-wearing crowds, so it is an easy option for adults who want a lively Halloween night without buying an admission ticket.
- Date: October 31, 2026, from 8 p.m. to midnight
- Location: Church Street in the Church-Wellesley Village, Toronto
- Cost: Free admission, although beer garden purchases are extra
- Website: Church-Wellesley Village BIA event listing
Editor’s Note: Although the official BIA listing currently gives an 8 p.m. start time, street access details may change, so check the event page again before leaving.
Toronto After Dark Film Festival
Toronto After Dark brings about 40 horror, thriller, sci-fi, action, and cult films to downtown Toronto. Altogether, the program spans 16 screenings across two venues. Also, some screenings include filmmaker question-and-answer sessions.

- Locations: Scotiabank Theatre (259 Richmond St W) and CineCycle (129 Spadina Ave), Toronto
- Cost: Single screenings from $16.99; Cine-Maniac passes $150; All-Nighter passes $220

Halloween Boat Party on the Jubilee Queen
The Exclusive Group’s Halloween Boat Party takes the celebration onto Toronto Harbour aboard the covered and heated Jubilee Queen. The 19+ costume party also includes multiple DJs. In addition, the listing says the cruise will continue into the early hours of November 1.
- Date: October 31, 2026, continuing into November 1 (Boarding at 8:30 p.m., sailing 9:30 p.m. – 1:30 a.m.)

- Cost: Ticket prices vary by tier, so check the official checkout page
- Website: Halloween Boat Party official ticket page
Editor’s Note: This is a strict 19+ costume party, so bring government-issued ID.
Practical Planning Notes
First, choose one main event, then plan the rest of the night around its entry rules. For example, Halloween Haunt and Casa Loma use date-specific tickets, Screemers charges more on Halloween weekend, and the boat party has a fixed boarding time. Also note that Canada’s Wonderland does not allow costumes after 6 p.m., and the park checks bags and limits late entry. Finally, bring government-issued identification for 19+ events, review each venue’s bag and costume rules, and plan your trip home before leaving.
