Grimsby Glows

11/02/2026

✨ We will remember Grimsby Glows 2026 for years to come!

From the glowing pumpkin pathway and creative displays to the activities, music, hot chocolate, furry friends and families enjoying the evening together, Coronation Park was full of Halloween spirit.

We loved seeing so many familiar faces, meeting new ones and watching everyone take part in the festivities.

It’s the pumpkins, the people and all the little moments in between that make this event so special.

Thank you, Grimsby, for another wonderful year. We already can’t wait to do it again! 🎃🧡

🎃 Well, Grimsby…you really showed up with the pumpkins!

We were blown away by the number of carved pumpkins donated for this year’s parade. From classic jack-o’-lanterns to incredibly creative designs, the pathway was filled with the work of our community.

And that’s really what Grimsby Glows is all about. Every pumpkin brought in, every family that got creative and every business or organization that took part helped make the parade possible.

Seeing everyone come back to find their pumpkin glowing along the pathway is always our favourite part of the evening.

Thank you for helping us keep the Halloween magic alive for one more night! 🧡

🧡 Grimsby Glows takes a community to bring to life!

A huge thank-you to every business, organization and individual who supported our 2026 Pumpkin Parade.

A special shoutout to Happy Paws Pet Studio, Ruffins and Pet Valu for donating prizes for our Best Dressed Pup contest. We had more four-legged participants this year (including a very cute cat!), and it was so much fun seeing everyone get involved!

We’re equally grateful to the businesses and organizations that carved pumpkins for the pathway, contributed financially, donated prizes and refreshments, or supported the event through in-kind sponsorships.

Every contribution, big or small, helped make this year’s event what it was.

It’s incredibly rewarding to see our community come together for something that has become such an anticipated fall tradition. Thank you for continuing to make it possible!
