This free event has been very popular with our community! Over 1200 people walked 2.5 km of pumpkin lined forest trails at the Pembina Nordic Centre in 2021! This year, we’re adding a few more fun adventures! The only light on the trails will be coming from the candles in the pumpkins, so bring a headlamp or a flashlight!

Check out the Forbidden Forest Activities:

Risk a visit to the Haunted House!
Dare to enter the Forbidden Forest Pumpkin Walk!
Taste some creepy candies at the Sorcerer’s Sweets Stand
Stuff a Hearse for the Food Bank
Visit the Weyerhaeuser Tent for Free Doughnuts & a bundle of firewood and chat about forest stewardship with our local foresters.
More details to follow!

We’re inviting families, organization and businesses to participate by carving pumpkins and setting them on the trails to light up the night!

If you want to donate pumpkins or set up your own spooky pumpkin display along the trails, please contact Sandra at 780-898-7275 or Sue at 780-898-3191.

In conjunction with this event, Aim for Success will be hosting a Pumpkin Carving Net on October 26 from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Pembina Nordic Centre. Watch for the registration link here or on the Aim for Success Facebook page.
