The Costen Insurance Team would like to wish you and your family a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween 2016!
Also know as “All Hallow’s Eve”, Halloween is celebrated annually on October 31st, the eve of All Saint’s Day. All Saint’s Day, November 1st, is historically dedicated to remembering the dead, including Saints and Martyrs. Halloween is said to be influenced by the Celtic festivals and festivals of the dead.
Over the years, the day has evolved into a family celebration where children (and often adults) dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, carve pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, bob for apples, visit haunted houses, read scary stories, and watch horror movies!
As in previous years, there are plenty of fun Halloween activities happening in and around Calgary. There are some great pumpkin patches and corn mazes open for business in the month of October.
For those looking for a real scare… check out Screamfest at Stampede Park:
- Various dates in October from 7:00PM – MIDNIGHT
- Haunted houses
- Great entertainment, including Zombie Hunter, Coffin Ride, Jurassic Attack, and more!

Mwahahahahahaha,
