It is October already, and Halloween is just around the corner, do your trick and get your kids geared up in their costume character and get ready to go for a real treat in Riverside!
Remember how excited we got as kids receiving candy on Halloween? It was one of those rare times in the year that we could receive an overwhelming amount of sugar and the stash was completely ours. Dressing up was fun and the Halloween parties were great, but the candy made it the real treat.
On October 26th, during the 5th Annual Riverside WalkFEST, you can take your kids to join the festivities by joining the free kiddie costume parade walk around the Riverside neighbourhood to receive all sorts of fun treats and adventure by stopping at different types of shops and establishments around Riverside. Starting at Nell & Natasha’s Pumpkin Giveaway (807A Queen St. E), and lead by volunteers from Riverside’s Ralph Thornton Centre – This candy walk will be a howl of fun.
While you wait for the Kiddie Walk to start, you can also enjoy a walking tour for yourself. During the WalkFEST, 9 unique walking tours lead by local personalities will be held throughout the day. Along with the tours, there will be other fun activities, such as Nell & Natasha’s Annual Pumpkin Give Away, Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre’s Haunted House (both at 11am-3pm), fun children activities offered by Riverside’s Charity partner, The Ralph Thornton Centre (1-5pm), and sidewalk sales.
It is all a treat with no tricks at Riverside’s WalkFEST.
