Ready Set Halloween
Family Trick‑or‑Treat Safety Event
Ready Set Halloween: October 31st, 2026
Ready Set Halloween is a free, family‑friendly Halloween kickoff at the Calgary Police Discovery Centre.
Families are encouraged to arrive in costume. Each young visitor receives a small wearable light to help them stay visible after dark, plus a CPDC trick‑or‑treat bag they can use later that evening. Officers will be on site sharing simple safety tips for Halloween night, and candy stations will be set up throughout the centre so kids can enjoy treats as they explore.
This daytime event helps kids get ready for trick‑or‑treating with safety tips, fun activities, and plenty of treats along the way.
This is a drop‑in event with no fixed capacity. Additional activities may be added as we confirm what our CPS partners can bring to the celebration.
Here’s the Intel:
- Date: Saturday, October 31
- Time: 10am – 4pm
- Location: Calgary Police Discovery Centre
- 5111 47th Street NE., Calgary, AB
