The Wranglers’ schedule tags Saturday’s game as the team’s Halloween game, and Saturday is Screamfest’s final night of 2026. Alberta Time starts on Sunday November 1 and clocks no longer go back to Mountain Standard Time, according to the Government of Alberta; Sunday’s times above are Alberta Time, as the Saddledome and the organizer list them.
Families and kids
Festival of Crafts, BMO Centre Hall F
The Festival of Crafts brings more than 145 Canadian artisans to Hall F, according to the organizer. Kids 12 and under get in free all day, every day. The organizer’s Gatehopper ticket page lists general admission (18 to 64) at $8 and seniors 65+ at $6, both good on any day of the show, and a $4 ticket for entry after 5:00 pm on Friday; the general admission ticket includes free re-admission all show long. The organizer gives the address as 20 Round Up Way SE.
Screamfest, GMC Stadium
Screamfest recommends its haunted houses for ages 12 and up. General admission is $35 to $45; combo tickets with extra entries or the Extreme Zombie House run $45 to $75, according to the organizer. Its FAQ says tickets are sold at the door but that limited capacity means entry at the door is not guaranteed, and that actors do not touch guests except in the Zombie Outbreak haunt, which requires a waiver.
Dungeon Wrestling and Navratri
Dungeon Wrestling lists its Friday show as all ages, with no refunds, on its Eventbrite page. The Gujarati Mandal of Calgary says children up to 5 need no ticket for its Navratri nights, that there are no refunds, exchanges or transfers, and that member tickets require a valid 2026-27 membership checked at the door with photo ID.
