The Regional District of Central Okanagan invites residents to celebrate the Halloween season at the annual Spooktacular event on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Mission Creek Regional Park.
Before the event, join the free Pumpkin Carving Workshop from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Mission Creek picnic shelter. Pumpkins, tools and supplies will be provided; just bring your creativity and register online at bit.ly/RDCO-pumpkin-workshop. Registration is required to ensure there are enough pumpkins for everyone.
Visitors are encouraged to wear their favourite Halloween costumes and enjoy a festive walk along the park trails, decorated with spooky scenes and creatively carved pumpkins. Event attendees will vote for their favourite designs, and the top three pumpkins will each win a prize pack valued at $150. Winners will be announced on RDCO social media channels following the event.
Carved pumpkins, complete with battery-powered tealights, can be dropped off between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Leckie entrance. If you would like to take your pumpkin home, please pick it up between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. after the event. Unclaimed pumpkins will be recycled.
This is a free, drop-in family event. Donations are welcome in support of the Central Okanagan Food Bank, which will be onsite collecting non-perishable food items and cash donations to help local families in need.
While all are welcome, attendees are kindly asked to leave pets at home for the comfort and safety of all guests.
