Pitt Meadows doesn't have a large commercial pumpkin patch or haunted house of its own right now, but its museum, its fire hall and a Halloween-night paranormal tour give it a real local calendar, and the bigger farm attractions are just over the border in Maple Ridge.

The short version

  • When: Halloween is Saturday, October 31 — Halloween at the Fire Hall runs that evening, 6 to 8pm, and the Pumpkin Smash follows on November 1.
  • Museum After Dark: a family-friendly (not scary) drop-in scavenger hunt at the Pitt Meadows Museum, on four more days in late October.
  • The honest gap: no pumpkin patch operating in Pitt Meadows this year — here's where the nearest farms actually are.
  • Fireworks and safety: fireworks sales and use are banned citywide, with RCMP and bylaw patrols on the night.

Museum After Dark

Museum After Dark at the Pitt Meadows Museum is a family-friendly Halloween drop-in — a scavenger hunt with a craft table, sticker coloring and photo spots, deliberately not scary, so it works well for younger kids. Its remaining dates are October 25, 28, 29 and 31, from 11am to 4pm, with admission by donation, at the museum's General Store Site, 12294 Harris Road. The museum's page lists the dates without a year, and the City's events calendar has no 2026 listing, so the museum is the source to check before you drive over.

For older visitors, the museum also hosts Halloween Paranormal with Haunted History BC on Halloween night, with sessions at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm (the 9pm session is sold out). Tickets are $35, with pre-registration through Haunted History BC.

The honest gap

Pitt Meadows doesn't have an operating commercial pumpkin patch or corn maze this year. Hopcott's Meadows Maze ran here for years, but Hopcott Farms' events page currently lists cranberry tours rather than a maze or pumpkin events, so check with the farm before planning a visit. The nearest pumpkin patch is Laity Pumpkin Patch, just across the border in Maple Ridge, open daily until October 31: its North site at 21145 128 Avenue is for children six and under, and its South site at 12725 Laity Street has the corn maze.

Halloween at the Fire Hall, and the Pumpkin Smash

On Halloween night itself, Pitt Meadows Fire & Rescue runs Halloween at the Fire Hall on Saturday, October 31, from 6 to 8pm at the fire hall, 19240 122A Avenue, with firefighters handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. The next day, the Pitt Meadows Firefighters Charitable Society runs the Pumpkin Smash on Sunday, November 1 (the City's listing shows noon to 3pm in one place and 11am to 2pm in another, so confirm the time) — pumpkins dropped from the hose tower, cash-only donations, and hot dogs from the Lions. Both are worth a look if you want the end of the season to be organized rather than self-directed.

Fireworks and safety

The City confirms fireworks are prohibited citywide, with RCMP and bylaw officers patrolling on Halloween night. Under the Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Bylaw, both the sale and the use of fireworks are banned, fines may apply, and fireworks bought outside the city still cannot be set off in it. To report fireworks, use the City's online bylaw form or call 604-465-2428; after hours, call the RCMP non-emergency line at 778-670-9010.

Pitt Meadows now has its own RCMP detachment, which opened in April 2026 at 12486 Harris Road. For trick-or-treating the basics apply as always: reflective gear, well-lit streets, and an adult with younger kids.

What Is Not Happening

There is no pumpkin patch or corn maze operating in Pitt Meadows this year, no city-wide trick-or-treat hour, and no legal way to set off fireworks in the city. If you have seen a Halloween listing that is not in this article, check it on the organizer's or the City's own site before you go; dates drift year to year.

The basics for the night are the same everywhere: go in a group, carry a light, cross at a crosswalk, and check anything unwrapped before a child eats it.
