Events Description
For nearly two decades, Tim Murton’s Twilight Zoo has been decorating the streets of Elora with a unique collection of lantern sculptures. During the month of October, visitors started coming to Elora from all over Southern Ontario to see the display. Local artists, community groups, businesses and other organizations started adding themed events as popularity grew, leading to the name “Monster Month in Elora.”
Monster Month 2026 brings a full season of spooky, creative, and community-focused events to Elora and Fergus, including ghost walks, lantern tours, monster tours, markets, concerts, comedy, drag, karaoke, book clubs, and family activities. Highlights include the Monster March, Candlelight Elora, Halloween Haunt Street Walk, murder mysteries, cemetery tours, Pumpkin Day, the Pumpkin Walk, and several Halloween parties and live performances.
Immerse yourself in a frightfully fun month of activities for the entire family!
