Our EC Montreal students are excited to celebrate Halloween in Montreal! They are busy working on their costumes for our annual Halloween catwalk and costume competition! In addition, we have informed them that many bars and clubs in Montreal will be celebrating Halloween and it is a very exciting time to go out!
We just learned of a new Halloween celebration happening in the city! It is called the Witch Market. It will take place on Saint Laurent Boulevard from Sherbrooke Street up to Laurier street. On October 31, there will be 120 vendors along what they are calling the pumpkin road giving out candy on Halloween day and night. You just have to look for a pumpkin outside the shop. If you find a pumpkin, you know you can enter and call out “trick or treat” to get a sweet candy!
The Witch Market will be set up in the Parc des Amériques on the corner of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Rachel Street East. It will include an evil theater play, free activities, magic tricks and a showing of the very scary movie The Conjuring starting at 7:30 p.m. This movie is rated R because it has some very disturbing and violent scenes. The movie will be playing in English with French subtitles, so all our EC Montreal students can join and even have a chance to practice their language skills!
The Witch Market will be open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. and is absolutely free!
What a wonderful way to end a Halloween night in Montreal! We will definitely be promoting this event to our EC Montreal students so they can experience an unforgettable Halloween! Let’s hope the weather cooperates and it is not too cold or wet to enjoy all the outdoor festivities taking place around the city!
However you choose to celebrate Halloween in Montreal, have fun and stay safe!
ESL Montreal wishes you a Spooky Halloween!!
