Things to Do in Alberta This October (2025 Edition)

October in Alberta is one of the most beautiful months of the year. The air is crisp, the leaves are bursting with colour, and there are plenty of local events and activities to enjoy before winter really sets in. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly outings, fall festivals, or cozy autumn adventures, here are some ideas to make the most of the season.


🍂 1. Take in the Fall Colours


🎃 2. Pumpkin Patches & Fall Festivals


👻 3. Halloween Events

  • Deadmonton Haunted House – One of Alberta’s most popular haunted attractions.

  • Fort Edmonton Park’s DARK – Immersive Halloween experiences blending history with spooky fun.

  • Local Community Events – Many neighbourhoods and churches host safe trick-or-treat or trunk-or-treat nights.


🏒 4. Sports & Entertainment

  • Edmonton Oilers – NHL season is underway, and catching a game is a classic fall tradition.

  • Spruce Grove Saints – Local AJHL hockey with plenty of family-friendly energy in the stands.


❄️ 5. Get Ready for Winter

It might not be glamorous, but October is the ideal month to prep your home before snow hits:

  • Service your furnace

  • Clean your eavestroughs

  • Winterize your yard

(Pro tip: getting these done early makes winter a whole lot easier.)


Final Thoughts

October in Alberta is about making the most of the in-between season—before the snow arrives, but after the summer rush is behind us. From colourful hikes to pumpkin patches, hockey games to haunted houses, there’s something for everyone this month.

👉 Have a favourite fall activity or hidden gem I should share in the next edition? Let me know—I’d love to hear your ideas.

Thinking of Selling in Spruce Grove? Here’s What to Do Before You List

Selling your home isn’t just about putting a sign on the lawn and waiting for offers. Especially in Spruce Grove’s competitive market, the right preparation before you list can mean the difference between a quick, top-dollar sale and weeks of frustration.

Here are five key things to do before listing your home — steps I walk my clients through during our free, no-pressure Seller Strategy Session.


1. Get a Realistic Home Value Estimate

Before anything else, it’s important to know what your home is worth in today’s market — not based on guesswork or an outdated online estimate. A detailed market evaluation will show what buyers are actually paying for homes like yours right now in Spruce Grove.

💡 I offer this as a free service, with no obligation.


2. Tackle the Small Stuff That Makes a Big Impact

Buyers notice everything. Fixing minor issues like leaky faucets, loose door handles, or scuffed walls can improve your home's perceived value. I’ll even provide a personalized checklist and a free staging consultation to help your home shine.


3. Choose Your Timing Wisely

Timing can influence your sale price and your stress levels. While spring is traditionally hot, other times of year can work just as well depending on your goals, your neighbourhood, and current inventory. We’ll build your strategy around your ideal timeline.


4. Avoid the Price-High-Then-Chase-Down Trap

Overpricing is the #1 mistake I see. It sounds tempting to “test the market,” but it often leads to price reductions and wasted time. I’ll give you honest, data-backed advice so you can attract the right buyers from day one.


5. Plan Your Next Move Now

Selling is just one side of the equation. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating, I’ll help you line up your next home so the transition is smooth and stress-free.


📍 Ready to Talk Strategy?

If you’re even thinking about selling your Spruce Grove home in the next 6-12 months, I’d love to offer you a free Seller Strategy Session. There’s no pressure, no commitment — just expert advice tailored to your goals.
