 Trick or Treat on the Avenue

Every Halloween Oak Bay Village merchants host a giant community trick or treat! Participating merchants offer trick or treat in the stores from Foul Bay Road to Monterey Avenue between 2 and 5 pm. A complete list of participating merchants, identified by the pumpkin poster in their window, will be posted a week before Halloween.

Enjoy live music throughout the event as well as a variety of entertainment including jugglers, stilt walkers, hula hoopers, magic, balloon twisting and more!

Following the trick or treat, the Municipality of Oak Bay hosts a bonfire in Fireman’s Park with hot dogs, hot chocolate and a Halloween costume contest.
