Trick-or-Treat in Metro Vancouver
Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, so the kids can trick-or-treat in daylight and you can actually enjoy the walk. Vancouver rain is always a possibility, so we’ve included plenty of covered options: warm malls, indoor shopping streets and community centres where little ones can fill their bags without getting soggy. Looking for something calmer? We’ve flagged the sensory-friendly stops for kids who find big crowds overwhelming. Below you’ll find where to go across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the North Shore, Coquitlam and Langley, with 2026 dates and time, so you can plan your route before the costumes come out.

HALLOWEENIE AT KIDS MARKET GRANVILLE ISLAND
Kids Market is throwing its annual Halloweenie party on Halloween day, and it’s completely free! On Saturday, October 31, 2026 from 11 am to 5 pm, kids can dress up in their spookiest costume and strike a scary (or silly) pose at the spooky photo booth, get frightfully fun face painting, and enjoy live music in the foyer. Trick or treating runs from 11 am to 1 pm throughout the market, so bring your own loot bag. It’s a great low key, not so scary option for little ones before the evening rush.
