Halloween Events

You won’t want to miss the famous Perth Ghost Walk starting from Perth Museum (11 Gore St. E.) on October 21, 22, 28 and 29, 2026, at 7 p.m.

Perth Ghost Walk is led by historian Susan Code McDougall who will take you through some of the eerie tales in Perth's past and outline the buildings where ghost sightings have been reported. The tour is targeted toward adults, but is still suitable for children ages 9 and up. 

Tickets are now available.

The MOST adorable day of the year is back for a 5th year! 

Enjoy a fun and spooky afternoon in our beautiful downtown on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 1-4 p.m. Visit your favourite businesses for a treat and enter the costume contest at Perkins Square!

Step into Perth’s darker past with Spirits of Perth, a special evening experience blending Victorian traditions, ghostly tales and local spirits. Your evening begins at Perth Museum, where you’ll explore fascinating—and sometimes unsettling—Victorian mourning customs through hands-on activities inside historic Matheson House. From there, head into the night for a guided Ghost Walk through downtown Perth, uncovering eerie stories and legends from the town’s past. The evening concludes at the new Top Shelf Distillers location downtown, where you’ll settle in for a guided whisky tasting.

Part history, part mystery and part whisky, Spirits of Perth is a spirited way to experience Perth after dark.

Get on the waitlist!

On Friday October 30 the sanctuary of St. Paul's United Church, Perth is transformed into a 1930s cinema for a special screening of the horror masterpiece Dracula. Originally directed by Tod Browning, this iconic 1931 film is brought to life with live, onstage musical accompaniment: a chamber ensemble, under the direction of composer Mark Bailey, performing a compelling new score written specifically for the film. Dracula is a follow-up to Mark's Frankenstein score, performed at St. Paul's in February.

Tickets are $25 and are available online or cash at the door. Come as you are, or celebrate Halloween and wear your costume — if you dare!
