Have some spooky fun at

Discovery Harbour’s “Haunted Harbour” event

Now in its fourth year, Discovery Harbour’s popular “Haunted Harbour” Hallowe’en event returns the evenings of October 25-26-27, with the NEW Saturday date added to round out three-nights of spooky fun on the atmospheric historic site.

“Haunted Harbour” has grown since inception and visitors to this year’s event can expect some great new surprises.  New themes will refresh ghostly displays in the historic buildings as visitors explore Discovery Harbour while strolling the candlelit paths.  Beware what’s lurking in the woods – will the trees really come to life?  Could a swamp creature be lurking?  Watch out!  The famous Creepy Clown and “Rockin’ Grandma and Grandpa” will once again say hello, and beware of skeletons – they could appear anywhere!   How about staying at a “Dead End Breakfast”?  Socializing ghouls from the past, rowdy pirates, and all manner of creatures can come out to play at night.

For those wanting an extra level of fright, the scarier “Haunted House” feature will be back, daring those to enter through a maze-like walkway full of haunts at each step.

In the North Visitor Centre, little folks can warm up and put their hand to a fun “witchcraft” Hallowe’en craft, and the erie “Creepy Canada” episode that features historical ghost stories from Discovery Harbour will also be shown. To round out the visit, refreshments can be purchased at Captain Roberts’ Restaurant on the Thursday and Friday evenings October 25-26.

The fourth annual “Haunted Harbour” Hallowe’en event is at Discovery Harbour, Penetanguishene evenings Thursday October 25^th, Friday October 26^th, and NEW FOR THIS YEAR Saturday October 27^th, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  Admission is just $5.00 per person with a non-perishable food item which will be donated to the local food bank.  Children ages 5 and under are free.  For further information call (705) 526-7838 or visit www.hhp.on.ca
