Pretty princesses, superheroes, witches and more were out on the prowl last weekend at North Vancouver’s Lonsdale Quay Market. This special holiday Halloween afternoon, designed with the kids in mind, was a great way to celebrate the season’s scariest day in a safe and fun atmosphere. In Kid’s Alley there was lots of activities including pumpkin decorating, spooky story-telling, face-painting and a costume contest with prizes. Meanwhile, down below in the market, kids could go trick-or-treating to all the merchants for goodies galore.
