The Toronto Traveler

One of the coolest aspects about Halloween in Toronto is probably the fact that so many people decide to have private parties in order to celebrate the occassion.  These might be private parties with friends, or they might be private parties where everyone and anyone is invited (hence the idea of the private party being not so private).

I’ve been to a number of places around the world, and in very few of those places have I seen the same celebration of a semi-major event like Halloween in such zeal in the private community of a place, but in Toronto it is most certainly a very big deal.

Some of these events will also see a big group of kids gathered together to go out on the Trick or Treat hike, but the vast majority of them stay in house to watch scary movies, swap stories or something of that sort.  If you happen to be in the city on Halloween and want to check out some of these private parties, then by all means go for it.  In my opinion, for a person that is not familiar with the city there are better things to do (some of which I’ve already talked about), but checking out one of the not so private parties might also be something that some tourists would find fun.
