The Grinch was at Anmore Manor in 2023.

Giant pumpkins, fake skeletons and witch cauldrons are now decorating the front yards of Tri-City homes for Halloween.

And many displays leading up to Oct. 31, 2024, are raising money for nonprofit organizations around the Lower Mainland.


Do you have a Halloween show for the public? Email us your address and we’ll publish it before Oct. 31.


The Anmore Manor haunted house will be open for tours at the end of October, with proceeds from the $15 entry fee going to the SHARE Family and Community Society food bank.

Last year, the organizers raised more than $18,000 in cash for the nonprofit.

This year, it runs:

  • Oct. 25 = 7 to 10:45 p.m.
  • Oct. 26 = 7 to 10:45 p.m.
  • Oct. 27 = 7 to 10:30 p.m.
  • Oct. 31 = 7 to 10 p.m.

The Hyde Creek Recreation Centre (1379 Laurier Ave.) will be filled with carnival fun for kids ages 10 and under, featuring swimming, pumpkin bowling, fortune telling and a haunted house.

As well, on Oct. 31, emergency responders will be at Buchanan Square at Coquitlam City Hall (3000 Guildford Way) for a trick-or-treat party.
