Halloween Events YXE

Dear reader, if you follow the Sneaks blog, you’ll know I often write Saskatoon city guides and you may also know that I LOVE HALLOWEEN. This post was never not happening. I’ve included some “harvest” activities and some 19+ events because they feel on theme but haven’t included every Halloween drink special night and pub crawl. (Should I?) And please let me know if there’s anything I should add! That’s how the lists on my site become comprehensive. Please note that some of these are one-off activities and some are ongoing; the order is alphabetical.

Before we dive in, did you know these lists are made with (many) volunteer hours? Please CLICK HERE to give me a follow on Instagram & CLICK HERE to do the same on tiktok. Your likes, comments, and shares there mean that I have a job as an influencer. Thank-you for supporting my small business.
