There are always great events happening around Vancouver, and this long weekend provides its share of entertainment! For a seasonal family treat, take a ride on the Hallowe'en Ghost Train in Stanley Park. This year's theme: Alice in Nightmare Land. Nightly from 6pm-10pm until October 31st. http://vancouver.ca/parks/events/ghosttrain/index.htm

The Vancouver International Improv Festival is on now, but only until October 10. With 20 shows showcasing a variety of improvisational and comedic talent, Granville Island will be a blast all weekend. http://vancouverimprovfest.com   

And most importantly, have a lovely and happy Thanksgiving Long Weekend.
