Halloween 2026 in Ottawa: things to do
In Ottawa, Halloween starts with the haunted walks. The Haunted Walk leaves from Sparks Street, another tour crosses Beechwood Cemetery to its mausoleum, and a third one covers the ghosts of the Bytown Museum.
For nights out, Dwayne Gretzky plays its Halloween shows at History Ottawa, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino throws its Halloween Bash on October 31 and the 27 Club hosts an emo night. For something more hushed, a Halloween Candlelight concert plays by candlelight at Knox Church.
