October is one of the busiest months in Vancouver thanks to fundraising galas, Halloween, haunted tours, and new theatre seasons. A few long-running events this month include: The Zombie Syndrome, the Lost Souls of Gastown Tour, the Chinatown Haunted House, Potters House of Horrors, BC Craft Beer Month, Fright Nights at Playland, the Stanley Park Halloween Ghost Train and the Bear Creek Park Train. You can also check out these parks for fall colours and these farms for family fun.
