Short of Halloween falling on a Friday (that’s the best), having October 31 on a Monday isn’t that bad â it gives you an excuse to dress up and party ALL weekend in Montreal.
That way on Monday, you can just relax, watch a scary movie, and dish out candies to kids. OR, keep your lights off, eat all the candy, and tell everyone you “had a good haul this year” â we won’t judge. It’s the spookiest season of all in Montreal, and there are some fun parties worth checking out this year, varying from roller discos to big dance parties, and bashes from different eras.
The weather is expected to be pretty spot-on for costume-wearing. Expect weather ranging from 10ÂșC to 12ÂșC all weekend, meaning you won’t overheat while dancing in the club wearing a Chewbacca costume (or whatever it is you cool kids are into these days).
