\n\"Sppoktacular<\/a> \n<\/p>\n

\nToronto may be home to some of the nicest people around
\n(truly, everyone there is very friendly), but the city loves to get its spook
\non every Halloween. If pretending to be a zombie  is your thing, or you just like to enjoy the
\noutdoor seasonal changes around fall, like the changing of leaves and the glow
\nof jack o'lanterns, then book your flights to Toronto.  There are several events going on during the
\nlast weekend of October, so pack your bags, and remember your zombie makeup.<\/p>\n

\nGarden Fun
\n<\/strong>For families with littler kids, the Halloween Howl at the Toronto
\nBotanical Garden<\/a> offers an opportunity to explore the museum's 17 different
\nthemed gardens while donning costumes! This year's event will be held on
\nSaturday, October 26, from 1 to 3 pm, and will include scavenger hunts, treats,
\nand a look at some of Halloween's creepy critters.\n<\/p>\n

\n
\nZom<\/strong>bie Walk
\n<\/strong>Celebrating its 10th year this year, and growing more
\npopular with every Halloween is the spectacular Toronto Zombie Walk<\/a>, the city's own
\ninterpretation on "Day of the Dead" festivities. Last year's event
\ndrew more than 10,000 people. This year, the event will take place on Saturday,
\nOctober 26, at Nathan Phillips Square starting at noon, and for the first time
\nwill include a Halloween parade. If you decide to join in the fun, event
\norganizers do have a zombie code of conduct, which includes no mauling of other
\nparticipants for their brains and body parts, and to respect other people's
\nproperty when marching along Toronto in search for brains. Something to keep in
\nmind.\n<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Parade
\n<\/strong>For those who hate to say goodbye to Halloween every year,
\nToronto offers one more day of Halloween fun. On November 1 at Sorauren Park<\/a> is the Pumpkin
\nParade. The park will hold a pumpkin sale on Saturday, October 26 (you can
\nswing by before your Zombie Walk), and the day after Halloween, rain or shine,
\nhundreds of carved jack o'lanterns go on display at 8 pm. Visitors to the park
\nare welcome to walk around and admire a range of gourd-carving craftsmanship.
\nThe event has a local, neighborhood feel and is great way to experience one of
\nToronto's prettiest parks and neighborhoods.\n<\/p>\n

\n
\nFall Brews
\n<\/strong>Forget cauldrons—the best brews around Halloween come in a
\nbottle. Toronto Beer Week<\/a> may have
\ncome and gone (remember it for next year), but fall brews are still available
\nat area markets. A seasonal favorite is St. Ambroise's Pumpkin Ale, which has
\nbeen referred to as pumpkin pie in a bottle. You may just catch a whiff of
\nnutmeg as you imbibe.\n<\/p>\n
