Saskatooning this October
From the perfect photo ops, spooky domes, to fall walks, pumpkin patches, hockey games and Halloween celebrations, it's the perfect time to experience Saskatoon at its most colourful.
See Thousands of Pumpkins Glow at Pumpkins After Dark
One of Saskatoon's most anticipated Halloween attractions returns to Prairieland Park this month. Pumpkins After Dark features more than 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins arranged into impressive displays, sculptures and larger-than-life installations, all brought to life with music, lighting and special effects. Visitors can follow the illuminated walking trail while discovering themed displays, photo opportunities and plenty of Halloween atmosphere along the way.

Spooky Domes at Crossmount
For a Halloween experience with a cozy twist, head to Crossmount Spooky Domes. This seasonal experience transforms Crossmount Cider Company's private domes into themed Halloween spaces, including The Witches' Coven and The Dead Man's Den. Guests can reserve a private dome, soak up the spooky atmosphere and customize their visit with food, drinks, cider, cocktails and seasonal treats available from a special Halloween menu.

Take in the Colours of Fall
October is one of the most beautiful times of year to get outside and explore. Spend an afternoon walking or cycling along the Meewasin Trail as the trees along the South Saskatchewan River turn shades of gold, red and orange. For a longer outdoor adventure, visit Beaver Creek Conservation Area, Cranberry Flats or the scenic forest and beach at Chief Whitecap Park.
Visit a Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze
No October is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch. Prairie Pathways is a must-do for families looking to spend time outdoors, pick out pumpkins, wander through the corn maze, and enjoy a classic fall outing. Pair your visit with hot chocolate, a countryside drive and a few photos among the pumpkins for a memorable autumn day.

Browse handmade goods, home décor, artwork, clothing, food products and more at the YXE Artisan Fall Market on October 10th, or head to the Pumpkin Festival at Gather Market on the 24th to discover local vendors and activities.
