Spooky plans in Bas-Saint-Laurent

The whole package! 👻

When it comes to witches, La Pocatière knows what it’s all about. You could even say it’s the region’s goosebump capital.

Last year, 10,000 costumed people gathered on 4th Avenue. This year, we’re raising the (chocolate!) bar once again, with a four-day festival from October 23 to 26.

The program culminates on Saturday with a haunted house tour, a grand downtown parade and fireworks. A pumpkin contest, a horror film screening and a moonlit bowling night also promise plenty of fun under your wigs.

Screaming at the circus 🤡

For a second year, Cirque de la Pointe-Sèche is secretly preparing two big evenings of thrills on its dark site in Saint-Germain-de-Kamouraska, naturally conducive to startles.

On October 25, the evening will be family-friendly and harmless, with candy and acrobatic acts for mini-ghosts.

The next evening, on the other hand, get ready for a blood-curdling themed tour. The 18-and-over party ends on the dance floor, where you can socialize anonymously with zombies and fake Joker brothers.

A game of Clue in Rivière-du-Loup 🥸

The Forest of Mysteries, featuring strange characters on the leafy trails of Parc des Chutes, has become a classic for fine family thrills.

On October 26, in the mornings and afternoons, it will bring together little pandas in strollers, teens who still love lollipops and adults who never say no to a thrill.

When darkness falls, at 6:30 p.m., we’ll get down to the sordid business with the Disparition rally in Vieux Rivière-du-Loup. Organized by Espace Centre-Ville, this Clue-like hunt for the culprit will invite you to solve an investigation, starting in Parc Blais, but it’s already sold out…

The end of the world between two rows of corn 💀

Remember the maze scene in Stephen King’s The Shining? Yes, getting lost in a string of dead ends can give you a solid scare. The famous Grand Labyrinthe Kamouraska is hitting the bull’s-eye for its 10th anniversary by holding a Halloween activity between its rows of ears of corn.

Brilliantly entitled La POCalyspe, the activity will take place on October 26 in two formats. In the afternoon, little ones can chase monsters. In the evening, it’s the monsters’ turn to chase lost and frightened participants.

A little bird tells me that people with weak heart muscles should stay home.
