Fall season is slowly starting to creep in, Toronto. That means crisp morning air, hues of orange and red, and lots — and I mean LOTS — of pumpkins. Halloween Nights of Lights and Pumpkinville returns this month, and is set to illuminate the night sky with over 1.5 million dazzling lights, midway rides, seasonal eats, and more than 15,000 real pumpkins.
Taking over a portion of Etobicoke’s CF Sherway Gardens parking lot, the annual celebration is back and even bigger with more interactive experiences. It will kick off on Sept. 25 and run on select dates through Nov. 1, 2026.
