October is the perfect time to visit Orangeville!

Make no bones about it! Downtown Orangeville is the destination of choice for spooky family fun in October. All month long, watch out for the skeletons, witches, and goblins that line Broadway, Orangeville's main street. Take part in scavenger hunts and discover eerie Alexandra Park.  The big event happens on Saturday, October 19 when ghosts and goblins of all shapes and sizes are invited to come downtown for an entire morning of Halloween activities.
