Short answer: Weaver Park Halloween Harvest is a family Halloween event at Weaver Heritage Park in Lloydminster that raises money for the Cenovus Energy Hub "Fill the Seats" campaign. When the City first announced it in 2024, it was free for children under six, ran 1 to 5 p.m. and offered crafts, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin painting, games and a hay bale maze. We could not confirm a 2026 date, so check with the City before you go.
Weaver Park is the city's oldest green space, and in late October the wooded paths and old heritage buildings feel made for Halloween. A few years ago, a fundraising group decided to use that setting for something new: a daytime, kid-friendly harvest party, with a scarier after-dark experience for older teens and adults. Our team researches and curates local information for Lloydminster visitors, and this guide sticks to what we could verify.
Important note on dates: The City of Lloydminster's detailed announcement we found (Saturday, October 26, 1 to 5 p.m.) was published on October 22, 2024. The City's current Recreation & Culture page for the event describes it but shows no 2026 sessions or prices. Treat every date and time below as 2024 information unless the City confirms otherwise.
What is Weaver Park Halloween Harvest?
It is a Halloween-themed family event held at Weaver Heritage Park. According to the City's 2024 announcement, the Friends of Cenovus Energy Hub (the fundraising committee behind the arena project) organized it as one of the first Halloween events of its kind at the park, with hopes of making it an annual tradition. The City's current event page describes a haunted house, a wooded area to explore, a spooky antiques shed, and fall-themed games, crafts and child-friendly activities.
What can kids do at the Halloween Harvest?
The 2024 announcement listed Halloween crafts, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin painting, games and a hay bale maze, plus a Children's Costume Contest at 3 p.m. with prizes. The City's current page adds the haunted house, wooded exploring and antiques shed. Plan for outdoor time: dress for prairie weather in layers, and bring mittens for pumpkin painting if the afternoon is cold.
Is Weaver Park Halloween Harvest free?
In 2024, the Halloween Harvest was free for children under six. The announcement did not state a price for older children or adults, and the City's current page says activities are included in admission without listing the cost. Call the City at 780-875-6184 to confirm pricing before you go.
