Enjoy a family-oriented, eerie walk into 1850s Olde Oakville. Be led by the ghost of a mayor, a merchant, a Chisholm relative, or someone else. Each ghost shares their life and you while meeting other characters and hearing ghost stories.
Volunteers are needed and greatly appreciated! Become a Street Character or a Ghost Leader. This can be for one to seventeen nights.
