Us3inCanada Spooky Halloween

Spooky Halloween!

This was our second year celebrating Halloween in Canadian lands. And it's really cool to see how Halloween brings together communities, neighbors, children and especially adults and teenagers becoming children again and having fun together.

Halloween is one of the most traditional festivals here too, bringing a lot of activity to the market and Its origins come from Celtic rituals that inhabited Central Europe. In the past it was called “Samhaim” marking the end of summer.

Halloween comes from “All Hallows Eve”, a close translation of “All Saints Eve” (November 1st is All Saints' Day and November 2nd is All Souls' Day / Dia de los Muertos).

We had a really fun night, full of tricks and treats.

In addition to the decorations in the houses and gardens, some more excited neighbors decorate the house like a haunted mansion, scaring visitors. Other enthusiasts play a sound to attract children and interact with them.

Others even made news by handing out 2L bottles of soda to kids! (search for the Walton family on social medias).

Let there be creativity!

Our neighborhood brings together the neighbors, they close one of the streets and the main event takes place there: an exhibition of cars like the Delorian from Back to the Future and the Ghostbusters car, “actors” dressed as zombies, Mandalorian, Batman, Medieval Knights, whatever. , everything to entertain the neighborhood, going beyond trick or treats.

The event in Auburn-bay has already become a city attraction and is considered the biggest Halloween event in Calgary! and many people come from other neighborhoods to celebrate with friends.

And despite the cold, we managed to have fun without freezing.
