2019 Halloween Events
Solingate Manor/Halloween House:
7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Location: 111 Solingate Drive
If you haven’t yet made the trip to 111 Solingate Drive in October, you are certainly missing Oakville’s finest display of ghosts, goblins, witches and a wealth of Halloween treats. The reason this home has become such a Halloween success is that Mr. Wirtz has made it his passion each October to bring smiles and awe inspiring stares to the children of his neighborhood (and their parents). The home is on Solingate Drive just north of Lakeshore Road West and East of 3rd Line. Donations are accepted for the Oakville Foodshare Program
Other homes worth visiting:
- 2093 Oak Springs Road (River Oaks)
- 6th Line & Munns Avenue (River Oaks)
- 480 Scarsdale Crescent (Bronte)
- 520 Sandbrook Road (West Oakville)
(If you know of a property that is worth a drive - please let us know.)
“We love keeping the Halloween tradition alive for the kids – it is so important to keep this tradition vibrant in our neighbourhoods. When we were growing up Halloween was important and taken for granted. We feel that participating actively is invigorating and fun and the kids in the neighbourhood love it! People bring their classes by from local schools to check it out. That is very rewarding”
Denis and Wendy (owners of 2093 Oak Springs Road)
