  • An annual Halloween tradition is back at Old Fort Erie will a new expanded schedule from October 20 to 29

Fort Erie, ON – Get into the spirit of Halloween with a haunted candlelit ghost tour through the eerie barracks of Canada’s bloodiest battlefield. All Hallows’ Eve tours return to Old Fort Erie starting this week, Thursdays through Saturdays, from October 20 to 29.

Costumed interpreters will guide guests by candlelight, through the gates, past the historic stone walls and into the darkest corners of the old fort to learn about the fascinating history of some of our most beloved Halloween traditions. See the Officers’ quarters where the bedroom of Captain Kingsley of the King’s 8th Regiment of Foot is said to be haunted by his spirit. A fun and frightening evening awaits, concluding with the burning of a Guy Fawkes effigy at 8:30 p.m.

Guests are encouraged to come dressed for the weather, as parts of the tour will take place outside. Snacks, along with cold and hot beverages will be available for purchase at the Old Fort Erie Welcome Centre. Learn more and buy tickets(SOLD-OUT) at niagaraparks.com/ghosttour.
