“It’s really by the community for the community”

Tapley’s Farm is counting down the days until the return of Whistler’s longest-running free community event. On Oct. 31, the Tapley’s Farm neighbourhood will take part in a tradition going strong since 1983. In its 41st year, the event honours children’s creative spirit and recognizes local community food needs, with attendees asked to donate money or non-perishables to the Whistler Food Bank through the Scare Hunger Campaign.

In 2023, Tapley’s collected approximately $4,000 and 500 pounds of non-perishable food items, which went to food security programs at the WCSS Food Bank. Whistler Secondary School Leadership Team members will be on hand Oct. 31 to accept donations, or you can make your donation online.

Trick or Treat at Tapley’s Farm

Trick or treating runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Since parking is limited in Tapley’s Farm, there’s a free “Park and Spook” shuttle, organized by Fastpark and supported by BC Transit and the RMOW. Shuttles take off from Marketplace at 5:07 p.m. and run continuiously until 8:25 p.m. Fireworks will take place at 7:30pm on the Myrtle Philip Community School fields.
