Calaway Park Halloweekends 2026
Rides, costumes and Halloween fun take over Calaway Park during Halloweekends, a family-friendly fall event running on weekends through October 12, 2026.
We have been to Halloweekends ourselves, and it is such a fun way to squeeze in a few more amusement park days before winter. My daughter loved the Halloween atmosphere, and I liked that it felt festive and spooky without trying to scare younger kids.
Halloween Takes Over Calaway Park
During Halloweekends, part of the park becomes Hallotown, filled with Halloween scenes, colourful displays and plenty of places to stop for photos.
Kids and adults are encouraged to wear family-friendly costumes, and the park still operates its regular rides and attractions throughout the day.
There are also Magical Meet & Greets at the Enchanted Forest Experience, weather permitting, giving younger visitors another reason to explore beyond the rides.
Watch or Join the Halloweekends Parade
On most Halloweekends dates, the Halloweekends Parade travels through the park at 3:30 PM with characters and Halloween-themed floats.
Visitors wearing family-friendly costumes can even join the parade.
One planning note: there is no parade on October 4 or Thanksgiving Monday, October 12, and outdoor entertainment can change with the weather.
Remaining Halloweekends Dates
Calaway Park is open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on:
• October 3–4, 2026
• October 10–11, 2026
• Thanksgiving Monday, October 12, 2026
The October 10–12 weekend is also Thank You Calgary Weekend. Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for the Calgary Community Kitchen.
Is Halloweekends Scary?
No. Halloweekends is designed for families and younger Halloween fans.
There are spooky decorations and Halloween characters, but the focus is on fun rather than frightening guests. Even Hallotown is meant to be playful, not a haunted attraction filled with jump scares.
