Little monsters roamed the streets of greater Montreal on Monday to celebrate Halloween without it being marred, for the first time in four years, by health restrictions or the whims of Mother Nature.
“It’s fantastic, it’s rare that it doesn’t rain! laughs An Hendrickx, accompanied by her two daughters, Luna, 6, and Milo, 3, and her partner.

An Hendrickx was enjoying the good weather, with his two daughters Luna and Milo.
And with the pandemic, “it wasn’t great,” she admits.
Indeed, after Halloweens marked by the specter of COVID-19, heavy rain or squalls, a festive evening awaited the little ones in costume this year.
“It will be good for the children. My big one is 10 years old, and it’s the first year that there is a mild temperature, and he doesn’t need to have a big follows says Nancy Perron as her three children put the finishing touches on their outfits.
On Monday, Environment Canada had forecast partly cloudy skies, a temperature of around 15°C and a 30% chance of showers in the city.

An alley in Rosemont was very lively on the evening of October 31, 2022, in Montreal.
Such weather has given life to certain alleys in the borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.
“We are super happy. We think we have a lot of participants, rejoices Julie-Ève O’Meara while a soundtrack of Harry Potter mingles with the ambient noise behind her. We find it less dangerous in an alley, it’s more accessible. »
Meanwhile, around Molson Park, there were creatures of all kinds: superheroes, witches, vampires and even… a traffic light on two legs.

Leo, 11, lit up an alley with his traffic light costume.
“I had thought of dressing up as a pint of milk, then I had the idea of a radar [de vitesse]and that gave me the idea of a traffic light,” explains Leo, 11, who invested a few hours in his project.
