You made it to Friday, Victoria.
And after nearly 100 days of no rain, the wet stuff is in the forecast today, but don’t let that stop you from having fun.
Here are 5 things to do in and around Victoria this Friday, October 21st:
Horse-Drawn Haunted Halloween Tours
As Halloween approaches, when the barrier between the world of the living and the dead is thinnest, we are more likely to experience sightings and ghostly energies. Experience the dark and twisted past of Victoria’s most-infamous haunted buildings and hear spine-tingling tales of their resident ghosts!
- When:
- October 20th to 23rd, from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Frankenstein at Craigdarroch Castle
October is the best time of year to pop by one of Victoria’s most haunted locations and this year a one-man show of Frankenstein will be an added bonus to your visit.
