The Cumberland Museum & Archives features its annual Spooky, Haunted Coal Mine October 21st to November 1st (closed Mondays & Tuesdays). Descend down the steep dark stairs into halls and passageways of terror and trickery!

Get ready for ancient apparitions, spirits, spiders, bats, rats, ghostly forces and other spooky surprises! The Spooky, Haunted Coal Mine is not recommended for children under 5. Parents are requested to accompany children under 10.

On Friday, October 30th the Spooky Haunted Coal Mine comes to life between 5:00 – 7:00pm for older youth and adults, with special ghostly interpretive appearances. Join us… if you dare! Then, at 7pm, join Meaghan “the Curse” Cursons for a guided walking tour of the Village, featuring tragedies and tales from Cumberland’s past. The truth is darker than fiction...

On Hallowe’en Eve, October 31st, join the annual Trick or Treat Parade in Downtown Cumberland. Trick or Treaters gather outside the Cumberland Recreation Centre (CRI) at 4:00, before parading down Dunsmuir, stopping at businesses for candy and other surprises.

On Sunday, November 1st at 4 pm join Dawn Copeman for a ghastly walking tour featuring the notorious ghosts that have haunted, and continue to haunt, our colourful little village.
