The Best Halloween Activities in Halifax in 2021

glowing jack-o-lanterns

Colourful and crunchy leaves line the sidewalk, pumpkins are beginning to appear on doorsteps and the darker evenings means that spooky season is here and Halloween is right around the corner! Whether you are planning a Halloween movie marathon, hosting a party, or taking little ones out trick-or-treating, let Bishop’s Landing help you make this year’s Halloween memorable.

Make Magnificent Halloween Cocktails 

Is a feature cocktail on the menu for your Halloween party this year? If so, find all your cocktail-making supplies at Bishop’s Cellar. They have spirits, liqueurs, wine, beer, and cider to cover all of your drink-making needs. If cocktails aren’t for you, try a pumpkin-flavoured beer or a crisp apple cider. There are great local options such as the Pumpkin Spiced Ale from Propeller and Nine Locks’ Harvest Pumpkin Ale.  

Spooktacular Halloween Cakes 

Do you have a spooktacular Halloween party in the works that you have been searching for ways to bring your event to the next level? Order an expertly designed custom cake! This year you could have a bright orange pumpkin cake as your centerpiece or a dozen little jack-o-lantern cupcakes. Delight your guests with delicious, custom-designed baked goods from Piece of Cake Fine Bakery and Café at your Halloween bash. 

Halloween Treats without the Tricks

Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without the candy, would it? Sorting and trading your trick-or-treating haul was always serious business. Now, you can have all of your favourites and leave the candies you don’t like for someone else! Whether you need themed sweets for party favours or you are treating yourself to some delicious treats, Sugah will make sure you have everything you need! 

Are you Frightfully Unprepared for Your Party?

Make sure there are enough drinking glasses for your Halloween party guests and a cupcake stand to display your treats. Don’t leave yourself unprepared, make sure you visit URBN-ish for all of your hosting essentials! And, if you are a party-going guest, pick up a hosting gift at URBN-ish—there are so many items every host is sure to love.
