Halloween in Lanaudière guarantees thrills and spine-chilling moments. Here are the planned Halloween activities in the region.
FESTIVAL FRISSONS
From October 16 to 18, the Festival Frissons de Mascouche will transform Mascouche's Parc du Grand-Coteau into an exceptionally Halloween-esque setting! Imaginary worlds will be brought to life by numerous characters and actors who will wander the grounds. Not to mention the actors who will animate the Chemin Surprenant, a frightening trail for the most daring festival-goers. Presented by Caisse Desjardins Le Manoir, Family Day is ideal for those who wish to visit the site during the day rather than in the evening. Numerous activities for children will be offered throughout the day. Please note that the Frissons Festival is free for Mascouche residents, but online reservations are still required. You can purchase your tickets HERE.
THE HAUNTED MANSION AT COMPLEXE ATLANTIDE
Atlantis Haunted Mansion is a three-story mansion offering 18,000 square feet of terror! This year, the “Zombie” event features a haunted mansion where a trail promises you the most terrifying scenarios. Online ticket reservations are required to guarantee your departure time... but not your return time! A deadly atmosphere is guaranteed! The mansion is open on Fridays and Saturdays in October. Please note that children under 6 are not allowed on the site and that the activity is recommended for ages 12 and up.
LA BROUETTE À LÉGUMES « CITROUILLES ET SORCELLERIE »
A visit to Citrouilles et sorcellerie (Pumpkins and Witchcraft) is the perfect family outing. On an enchanting site in the town of Lanoraie, you can explore the barn and take a tractor ride through the forest to visit the wizard or witch who will entertain the children. You can also try to find your way through the corn maze or pick zucchini and pumpkins. Don't forget to take advantage of the sale of regional products, including delicious sausages and ground venison.
A FAMILY HALLOWEEN PARTY AT CHOCO CHOCOLAT
On Saturday, October 25, Choco Chocolat invites you to celebrate Halloween in style! Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere, with staff dressed up for the occasion. And for little monsters in costume who make a purchase, a chocolate Halloween lollipop will be offered as a gift. Come share a sweet and creative moment! In addition, Choco Chocolat is organizing Halloween-themed chocolate-making workshops! Children ages 5 and up are invited to learn new chocolate decorating techniques with a Halloween theme. Several models (mummy, Frankenstein, etc.) will be presented using sponge and brush decoration techniques. Children aged 8 and over will be able to create their own three-dimensional pumpkin from scratch and hide lots of chocolate surprises they have made inside.
Book your workshop HERE.
THE LABYRINTH AT FERME GUY RIVEST
Throughout October, the Grand Labyrinthe at Ferme Guy Rivest is specially decorated for Halloween. Ghosts, princesses, witches, and other characters will welcome you from Wednesday to Sunday and Monday, October 13, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturdays in October, the maze will be open from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The maze takes on a Halloween atmosphere with hundreds of decorations added to the paths. Some of them move on their own, but don't panic: there are no actors hiding to jump out and scare the little ones. The idea is to appeal to the whole family and immerse young and old alike in a festive atmosphere, without excessive thrills. As a bonus, you can leave with your freshly picked pumpkin! And for the more curious, an original activity awaits you: a life-size murder mystery where you'll have to put on your detective hat and find the motive, the weapon, and the culprit. Come solve the puzzles scattered throughout the maze and take home some strawberry wine or jam made right on the farm!
The Pumpkin Garden at Moore Garden | Mascouche
Come explore Moore Garden and discover its colorful and whimsical pumpkins! On October 18, 19, 25, and 26, Disney princesses and Marvel heroes will be on hand for photos, autographs, and, of course, candy. Put on your best Halloween costume and enjoy the tour. And yes, adults are also invited to dress up! Each child will receive a small brown bag to collect peanut-free treats.

Halloween continues beyond October 31 with the magical world of La Marmite. Come in costume, young and old alike, to enjoy a science show with Yannick Bergeron, cuddle animals, take tractor rides, have fun on inflatable games, hunt for ingredients for a magic potion with the witch, enjoy snacks, immortalize your costume in the photo booth, and receive a bag of candy for each child!
