All Hallows’ Eve

Located on the edge of the Niagara River in the town of Fort Erie, Old Fort Erie was the sight of Canada’s bloodiest battlefield and played a pivotal role in the War of 1812. Travel to the Fort this October to listen to ghost stories, learn about old Halloween traditions, and watch the burning of a Guy Fawkes effigy.

There are three available tour times throughout the night, followed by the Guy Fawkes finale at 8:30pm and a classic Halloween movie screening at the fort’s theatre.
