Events in October 2024
Similar to September, the fall colours are in full swing and the harvest season is still a great time to be outdoors while the weather allows.
Fall Fairs are still the most popular thing happening across the province – with many Halloween-themed fairs and events following suit.
There are also lots of cultural events – showcasing apples, art, and Oktoberfest – going on.
You can scroll through the Events Calendar below. Fall festivals/events with dates before October are listed first (as they are ongoing). October-specific events are listed next!
