10. Halloween in Your Own Neighbourhood – Greater Victoria & the Westshore
Sometimes the best Halloween memories happen right outside your own front door.
One of our favourite things about living in Greater Victoria is the sense of community that comes alive during holidays like Halloween.
From decorated homes and front-yard pumpkin displays to neighbourhood trick-or-treating, there's plenty to enjoy close to home.
Communities throughout Langford, Colwood, Royal Bay, Sooke, View Royal, Saanich and Victoria all offer opportunities to get into the Halloween spirit.
If you have little ones, consider an early evening walk to admire the decorations before the bigger trick-or-treating crowds arrive.
And don't forget to bring a flashlight, dress for the weather and keep an eye out for vehicles when walking through neighbourhoods.
More Things to Do in Victoria This Fall
Halloween might be the highlight of October, but it's certainly not the only reason to get outside and enjoy Vancouver Island.
Fall is also a beautiful time to explore Goldstream Provincial Park, walk along the beaches in Royal Bay, visit local farms throughout the Saanich Peninsula, or spend an afternoon enjoying the shops and cafés in downtown Victoria.
It's one of the things we appreciate most about living here. We have the convenience of city living, wonderful smaller communities, and incredible access to nature, all within a relatively short drive.
