Raise Hell at Toronto’s Hottest Halloween Parties 2017

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Dear AskUG,
I am a student in my fourth year at UTSC. My university experience has taught me to appreciate the moments that I spend having fun, and I want to make the most of them. Where in Toronto can I go to let loose and have a good time this Halloween? Are there any cool parties going on?

Sincerely,
Aspiring Party Animal

 

Dear Aspiring Party Animal,
Halloween always means cool parties, because – let’s be honest – when else weirdly dressed people partying is socially acceptable? And living in a huge city like Toronto means that there’s so many more cool parties going on. This year Halloween falls onto a Tuesday night, therefore the majority of the parties and events will be happening the weekend prior to the date.

Here’s a few of the options that you can choose from:

Friday October 27:

Celebrate like a true Targaryen (or whoever you’d like) from Game of Thrones! “The Iron Throne is still up for grabs so gather your allies and don your finest furs because winter has come to the Dragonstone Hotel this Halloween. All Seven kingdoms are invited to West Queen Westeros for an epic final reunion. So whether you’re a Stark or Lannister or belong to some other house, or if you’re real shady like the Red Queen or Little Finger, our guards will still let you in.”
