The Niagara Falls seventh annual Spooky Awards have returned for 2026, offering residents a chance to win one of nine awards with their outdoor Halloween displays.

Last year, a record of 69 properties participated and the city says it hopes even more will join in this year.

Residents and businesses can register their outdoor Halloween displays until Oct. 18 at 10 p.m.

From Oct. 23 to 25, the city is encouraging residents to follow the Spooky Map and tour participating properties across Niagara Falls.

Displays will be lit each night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Public voting for the People’s Choice Award will be open from Oct. 23 to 25.
