Friday
Fall Family Festival at the Botanic Gardens
Fun, crafts and activities for the whole family in the splendor of the fall garden. Make your own fall-themed crafts together, bake a yummy apple by the Grebe Pond, and enjoy being outside together.
A ghostly walk through Old Strathcona, where we stop in front of the Strathcona Hotel, the Princess Theatre, the Strathcona High School and many other buildings, houses, and shops that have reported ghosts, hauntings, murders, and mysteries. They are all true stories that come from area residents and business owners. The tours are hosted by a veteran storyteller with 12 years of experience. Held all summer and into the fall-Halloween season. The tours are a great outing for the whole family. The Old Strathcona Ghost Tour is 1 hour long.
