Get Outdoors!
If “trails + leaves = best day ever” is your slogan, this fits. Bike, hike, geocache, wander - explore. Just enjoy the shifting colours and being in nature. Try a nature scavenger hunt with the kids! A few of our favourite trails - for their uniqueness and opportunity to have the trail to yourselves:
Oktoberfest!
This one is 18+, so you’ll need to get a sitter, but it’s a tonne of fun! The annual celebration of beer, food and German culture takes place at the Strathcona Community Centre. Get tickets on Eventbrite - https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/octoberfest-2025-tickets-1628795203299
Halloween Fun

Take the kids to Trunk or Treat in Fort Saskatchewan - a fun alternative to knocking on houses, families visit creatively decorated vehicles and collect candy from local organizations. Attendees are invited to bring non-perishable donations for the Food Bank.
Take in Haunted at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre on select weekends in October (suitable for ages 12+).
K3 Field of Screams near Tofield is not recommended for young people or those with heart conditions, but if being terrified is your idea of a good time, this might be worth the trip! While you’re in the neighborhood, hit up Tilly’s in Tofield for pizza.
Whatever you choose to do, making memories with the family is priceless. Tag us in your photos and we'll share them in our Facebook and Instagram stories!
