Toronto’s beloved annual event, Halloween On Church, is gearing up to bring all the fearful fun of the spooky holiday to The Village. For years, the popular street party would take place on one frightful night, but this year organizers are extending the party for another evening. Here’s what to know.
Canada’s biggest Halloween Bash will take over Church Street from Carlton to Gloucester Street on Oct. 31, 2025 from 6:30 p.m. to midnight.
What to expect
Like every year, people will dress from head to toe, parading their costumes along the strip, spooking everyone in sight. Whether you’re keeping it low key this year or going all out, the parade is for everyone, big or small.
There are a few new additions to this year’s festivities. There will be a sprawling Beer Garden with wicked brews and creepy cocktails and, to keep the fun going, an additional night of festivities. Rewear your costume or start planning your second look for Nov. 1, 2025. The party will start up once again from 7 p.m., to midnight. This time it will be exclusively held in the parking lot at 512 Church St.
But that’s not all! There will be jaw-dropping performances by the Queen of Church, celebrating 25 years of Drag, SOFONDA.
And, hold onto your wigs because a legendary Michael Jackson impersonator will deliver a show-stopping tribute during the festivities.
Canada’s Drag Race superstar Jada Shada Hudson will also take the stage, along with Toronto’s own Shahi and a performance from Drag King Rico Rico. There will also be a DJ spinning the hottest tracks all night long.
Dress to impress and get ready to turn up!
Now that reminds me, I should get my costume ready.
