A haunted Halloween experience is taking over Burnaby Village Museum next month

Halloween fun is returning this fall, and one Metro Vancouver city is going all out with the spooky experiences.

Burnaby Halloween Festival 2023, presented by Tourism Burnaby, is a wide variety of eerie events and activities for all ages throughout October.

One of the feature attractions is Burnaby Village Museum’s family-friendly Haunted Village: Legends, Tales and Other Stories, transforming the 10-acre historical attraction into a magical world from October 19 to 29.

The open-air event invites guests to go on a unique self-guided walk and discover wonderous tales lifted from storybook pages and transformed into stunning displays.
