Like several cities in Quebec, Canada and throughout North America, the night of October 31 vibrates to the rhythm of Halloween. In the town of La Prairie, many houses are adorned with pumpkins and various decorations, ranging from ghosts to tombstones, including luminous monsters.
As we wander the streets of Vieux-La Prairie around 8 p.m., we plunge into the full atmosphere of terror. Rue Saint-Jean, which leads towards the church, is particularly lively. The police forces secure the places where visitors who come to celebrate alone, with friends or family flock. While some are in costume, others accompany their children who collect treats, thus perpetuating the famous tradition.
Under the theme of “La Grande frousse”, the streets light up thanks to immersive decorations and routes, offering a mysterious and intense experience to lovers of thrills and nocturnal thrills.
