HALLOWEEN | Fort York After Dark Lantern Tour
If unusual but interesting sounds like your kind of Halloween, scrap the slutty cat costumes and clubs and take a lantern lit tour through Fort York. Running tonight through Saturday, the tours will take visitors from the legendary haunted lighthouse to the site of the Battle of York during the War of 1812 with stops at two military graveyards, like Victoria Memorial Square, the oldest European burial ground in Toronto, in between. Pre-registration is required and the tours are not recommended for children under 8 years old.
