Halloween in Quebec: haunted villages, ghost walks and parties for adults

October 31 falls on a Saturday in 2026, and Quebec is ready: haunted villages that switch to adults-only after dark, ghost walks in Old Montréal and Old Québec, a ghost ship on the river, the Rocky Horror ball and fright festivals. This guide gathers Halloween’s haunted nights for adults and teens, each with the venue’s listing, dates, intensity and minimum age.

Tips: most trails have a daytime version for kids and an “extreme” evening version from age 13 or 16, so check the listing. October Saturdays sell out a week ahead: book. And ghost walks are on foot, outdoors, for two hours: dress for it.
