The City of Vaudreuil-Dorion sets the tone for the Halloween festivities with a diverse program, including a weekend of activities at Le 405 park.
“This unifying and festive place was greatly appreciated throughout the summer, which makes it the perfect place for these celebrations. The City will also offer activities at the swimming pool, at the library and in the Baie de Vaudreuil which will begin on October 18th and which will appeal to the whole family”, announced the municipal authorities.

“Following the summer success, it’s obvious that Le 405 will be a magical place for a Halloween weekend. This idea emerged several times in the recent survey on the activities offered at Le 405.
