What To Do This Weekend in Port Perry: October 23 to 25, 2026

If you are looking for things to do this weekend in Port Perry, you have landed on one of the busiest weekends of the fall. Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25, 2026 sits right in the middle of Halloween season, with family events at the Scugog Shores Museum Village and WindReach Farm, pumpkin patches and corn mazes around Scugog and Kawartha Lakes, and a quieter Sunday for a walk on the Lake Scugog waterfront. Here is the honest, day-by-day rundown, with links to the official pages so you can confirm details before you go.

Friday, October 23: a corn maze after dark, then Queen Street

The way to start the weekend is the Night Maze at Cooper's CSA Farm and Maze on Ashworth Road in Zephyr. From 7:00 to 10:00 pm on October Fridays, the farm opens its 10-acre corn maze after dark for a walk under the stars. It is a short drive from Port Perry and an easy, low-crowd kickoff.

If you would rather stay in town, the restaurants and cafés on Port Perry's historic Queen Street make a cozy Friday dinner stop, from The Piano Cafe to the local roasters and bakeries nearby. For the spots we send clients to after a showing, see our neighborhood guide to Janetville and Port Perry .

Saturday, October 24: the main event

This is the day with the most going on, and most of it is aimed at families.

In Port Perry, the Scugog Shores Museum Village hosts Adventures at the Boo-seum from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at 16210 Island Road. Kids can come in costume for crafts and Halloween fun, entry is pay-what-you-can, and the village sits right on Lake Scugog so it pairs well with a waterfront walk before or after.

Out in Ashburn, WindReach Farm hosts its Halloween Spooktacular on Saturday evening: a trick-or-treat trail, a haunted house, wagon rides, and a dance in the barn from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. It is pay-what-you-can and a favourite with families of younger children.

For pumpkins, the farms are in full swing. Applewood Farm and Winery on Saintfield Road in Seagrave runs one of the region's largest corn mazes with U-pick pumpkins and wagon rides on weekend afternoons. Willowtree Farm in Port Perry runs its Pumpkin Palooza on Saturday and Sunday with games and family fun, and Nature's Bounty Farm on Scugog Line 2 keeps its corn maze and farm animals open through November 1.

Forsythe Family Farms in Greenbank runs its October pumpkin festival on weekends, so if the Scugog farms feel busy it is an easy second option just up the road.

Sunday, October 25: the wind-down

Sunday is the quietest day, which is exactly why locals like it. The Scugog waterfront trail in Port Perry is an easy, free walk past the marina and the historic mill, and it is at its best with the maples in colour. Follow it with a coffee on Queen Street, and check what downtown has on through the Port Perry BIA .

If you want to keep the fall fun going, McQuaid's Country Market near Lindsay keeps its nine-acre corn maze open through November 1, and MacArthur's Pumpkin Patch on Highway 7 near Oakwood is open Friday through Sunday. Applewood Farm also keeps its patio going on Sunday afternoons, weather permitting, so it is worth checking its hours for a relaxed lunch in the countryside.
