‘Halloween Happenings’ set for Comox Valley in late October

With Thanksgiving wrapped up, the Comox Valley is shifting gears to Halloween, and there’s no shortage of spooky fun ahead.

In Courtenay, the City is promising a spooktacular time at the Lewis Centre, where the Downtown Business Association and Courtenay Recreation will host a children’s Halloween parade and party.

The event is set for Oct. 31, the parade starts at 3:00 p.m. around downtown, and the party goes from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Over in Comox, the annual Costume Halloween Parade is back along Comox Avenue between Port Augusta and Nordin streets.

That event is also set for Oct. 31

And for an early scare, the Comox Valley RCMP is opening its doors for the first-ever Haunted Cell Block event.

Police say cells at the Courtenay detachment will be transformed into a spooky scene where visitors must help “watch the prisoners” as strange things begin to happen.

That is set for Oct. 29 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
