Spooktacular Adventures in the County!
Take a stroll, if you dare, through Centerton's haunted library. The library will be transformed into a haunted house for the evening. The event is family friendly but the tour is recommended for those 8 years old and up. The Centreton Hall adjacent to the library will be set up for an old-fashioned Halloween party, with pumpkin bowling, temporary tattoos, and a smorgasbord of wonderful decorations with which you can make your own unique pumpkin craft.
Details: Friday October 27th from 7:00pm-9:00pm
Location: Centreton Library 2363 County Road 23

Trick or Treat on the Street
Hosted by the fantastic businesses of downtown Cobourg, this event is great for our littlest ghouls and goblins who can’t stay up too late on Halloween night. Kicking off at 10:00am and running until 2:00pm, little ones can get dressed up and go store-to-store to collect some treats from our local retailers and businesses. It’s a great event to bring the grandparents along to so they can see kids in costume!
