[Toronto ON] Come in costume and join 2026 JUNO Award nominee Chris McKhool, one of Canada's most beloved family entertainers, for a frightfully fun Halloween celebration at the Kingston Road Village Concert Series on Friday October 30, 2026.
Known for his infectious energy, engaging storytelling, and music that brings people together across cultures, McKhool creates concerts where children don't just sit and listen—they sing, dance, laugh, wiggle, and become part of the show. Expect a joyful, high-energy evening filled with spooky surprises, catchy songs, and plenty of Halloween fun for the whole family.
Dress up for the costume contest, bring your imagination, and get ready for a giggling, dancing, mosh-pit-inducing celebration of childhood, community, and music!
This is also the official Toronto CD release party for his new album GLOBAL DANCE PARTY! The recording features an outstanding ensemble of musicians, including Kevin Laliberté on guitar, Saskia Tomkins on fiddle and Thermin, and Drew Birston on bass, along with a complete horn section. Mixed in Dolby Atmos by Grammy-winning engineer John “Beetle” Bailey, the album brings a rich, immersive sound to a celebration designed for family listening.
