About this Event
Tired of travelling downtown for a bar event and same small talk? Try something different this Halloween season!
Toronto Dating Hub is teaming up with Pumpkins After Dark, Canada's largest walk-through pumpkin experience, for a hosted singles night at its brand-new Markham location, on Halloween Movies theme night!
We're back to host something special for our uptown folks! 🙌
We hear it all the time: "Why is everything always downtown?" So this one's perfect for singles in Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Scarborough, and along the GO line (free parking too).
(Downtowners, you're welcome too. Make it a fall night out of the city! 🍂)
Wander a glowing trail of 10,000+ hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns, many photo opportunities, live pumpkin carving, and spot /meet your favourite costumed characters along the way. It's much easier to start a conversation when you're both staring at a giant glowing pumpkin.
Come solo or bring a friend. Even if you don't meet someone romantically, you'll leave with new friends and a camera roll full of fall photos.
