About this map
About the Ottawa Halloween displays map
Map the Lights is a free, community-built map of Halloween displays around Ottawa–Gatineau. Anyone can add a display they know about, and visitors' thumbs-up, “Not there” reports and in-person confirmations show which displays are up this season.
It includes decorated houses, walk-through haunts, motion props and streets where several neighbours decorate. You can filter displays from family-friendly to scary.
117 displays are on the Halloween 2026 map so far.
