This Halloween, tune in for a night of Scary Stories from a variety of accomplished, local storytellers, hosted by award-winning actor and one of the creators of Mom's the Word, Deborah Williams. The Flame is a sold-out monthly storytelling event, celebrating its 12th season. Well known in the Vancouver storytelling community for being a sizzling storytelling series, The Flame features personal, true stories shared with a live audience. This past June, Deborah won the Gordon Armstrong Playwright’s Rent Award for co-founding and coordinating The Flame. Her work in this Vancouver storytelling series was cited for continuing to provide “a marvellous, joy-filled resource… [and] celebrates the essential power of the liveness of theatre.”

Trick or treaters take to the streets of Steveston in the daylight and visit over 40 participating businesses offering treats. The cute factor is high as anything from a walking gumball machine to Little Bo Peep may cross your path! Neighbourhood kids are invited to bring their treat bag and have some non-scary fun. This event takes place rain or shine!

The latest in the PNE drive-thru experiences is the A Taste of the PNE Drive-Thru: Tricks-and-Treats Edition.
