A park transformed. From October 3 to 25, 2026, La Ronde becomes a massive open-air haunted house. For the first time, the entire park will be converted into 9 distinct fear zones, offering an immersive experience where thrills are guaranteed at every corner, the park announces on its official page. The park's website is available in French only.
An experience with adjustable intensity. Fright Fest is designed for thrill-seekers: each zone has its own horror universe, with actors, sets and special effects. It is aimed at a teen and adult audience.
The family option. During the same period, from October 3 to 25, La Ronde also offers the Pumpkin Festival (Fête des citrouilles), a family-friendly version with gentle activities and autumn décor for younger visitors. Both events are included in park entry depending on schedules.
How to get there. La Ronde is located on Île Sainte-Hélène, minutes from downtown Montreal, accessible by metro (yellow line, Jean-Drapeau station) and via the Jacques-Cartier Bridge. Tickets and season passes are sold on La Ronde's official website, where detailed schedules are published.
Good to know for newcomers: Halloween is a very popular celebration in Quebec, and Fright Fest is its spectacular version. If you have young children, choose the Pumpkin Festival; if you love thrills, the fear zones await. Check park hours before planning your visit.
