The custom performance, taking place on October 31 and November 1, will illuminate the night sky with a visual story inspired by the farm’s history, marking the finale of this year’s Halloween season.
Billed as one of Canada’s top haunted attractions, FrightFest offers seven themed haunts, live performances, and food options spread across the farm grounds.

The lineup includes attractions such as the Haunted Hayride, a dark ride through the farm’s eerie landscape; the Barn of Terror, where Dr. Saunders’ failed experiments await; The Sawmill, featuring a reimagined colony of millworkers; and The Shambles, described as the event’s most gruesome experience.
Visitors can also explore The Cemetery Scare Zone, The Coven, and Circus Macabre, alongside a fire and sword-swallowing show at the Ghost Town Stage.
Street theatre performances and roaming characters add to the event’s unpredictable atmosphere. Food and drink options include burgers, poutine, fresh-cut fries, craft beer, and Saunders Cider, served on the outdoor patio.
General admission for FrightFest 2025 is priced at $59.99, which covers access to all seven haunted attractions, live shows, and food vendors.
The event is recommended for visitors aged 12 and up, while children under 10 are advised against attending due to the intensity of the haunts.
