Tips & Advice

Below are some suggestions to help you make the most of your visit to Maple Ridge and the Celebrate the Night event.

TIP #1: Memorial Peace Park sits in the heart of Maple Ridge at 11930 224 Street. There is a fair bit of parking in the area, but not a ton. Try to arrive early and be prepared to walk a bit.

TIP #2: The event happens rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, still go, but remember to take your umbrella and waterproof gear.

TIP #3: Make a day of your trip and explore the area. Kanaka Creek Regional Park is close by, and Alouette Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Park aren’t too far away either. All are beautiful this time of year and they make great places for a walk. WildPlay Elements Park is another awesome place to check out in Maple Ridge. Their ropes courses and ziplines are amazing! There is also Alouette Cemetery which is an award-winning Halloween display outside someone’s house in Maple Ridge.

TIP #4: Wear your spookiest costume to enter the Best Dressed contest. (The top prize is worth $450. There are four runner-up prizes too.)
