All treats, a few tricks: TTC's Halloween Fest takes over Danforth Garage this weekend

The TTC is reminding families, transit fans and Halloween enthusiasts to stop by Danforth Garage this weekend, Sat., Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sun., Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for Halloween Fest in support of United Way Greater Toronto. 

The century-old facility at 1627 Danforth Ave. will transform into a spooky destination featuring haunted and kid-friendly bus bays, trick-or-treating, Halloween activities, TTC merchandise and a BBQ fundraiser. 

Opened in 1915 as Danforth Carhouse, the property supported streetcar maintenance before becoming an all-bus garage in 1966. Today, it houses TTC heritage barns and subway operations offices. 

Admission to this fully accessible event is $7, with free entry for children two and under. All proceeds and donations will directly support United Way Greater Toronto and essential community programs across the GTA.  

Halloween Fest is cashless, including admission, food and merchandise. 

Visitors are encouraged to take the TTC to the event. Danforth Garage is conveniently located across the street from the fully accessible Coxwell Station on Line 2. There is no parking on-site. 

The TTC thanks the event sponsors and collaborators who helped make this possible including ATU Local 113, as well as No Frills locations at 1022 King St. W. and 42 Hanna Ave.
