See all experiences →Halloween Ottawa hits different when you actually have plans. Whether you want ghost stories on cobblestone streets or violin-driven horror film scores by candlelight, Ottawa delivers the atmosphere. The Rideau Canal, the ByWard Market, and a handful of heritage venues turn October evenings into something genuinely eerie.
Not sure where to start with Halloween in Ottawa? A haunted walking tour covers the city's darker history on foot. A candlelight concert keeps things warm and a little gothic. Or board a boat on the Ottawa River as the leaves go full amber. Pick one, book it, show up in costume if you want.
