About
Prepare to be spellbound this October as Elora transforms into a realm of enchantment for Monster Month! Embark on a journey through the historic streets of Elora, where every corner comes alive with the magic of Tim Murton's Twilight Zoo.
For over two decades, the Twilight Zoo has been a beloved tradition, enchanting visitors with its captivating lantern sculptures. From ghosts to skeletons and other ghoulish creatures, these illuminated artworks cast a bewitching spell over the village, creating an atmosphere unlike any other.
But Monster Month is more than just a spectacle; it's an immersive experience that beckons visitors to explore Elora's rich history and vibrant community spirit. Join us on a self-guided tour through the quaint downtown, where each step reveals new wonders and surprises.
As you wander the streets, keep an eye out for QR codes adorning many of the Zoo critters. Scan them to unlock a treasure trove of information about Tim Murton, The Twilight Zoo, and the captivating history of Monster Month in Elora.
But the magic doesn't stop there. Our dedicated volunteers have been hard at work, giving the sculptures stunning makeovers and introducing exciting new additions to the Zoo. With each passing year, Monster Month grows bigger and better, ensuring that every visit is a spellbinding adventure.
So mark your calendars and join us from October 1st to 31st as we celebrate the wonders of Monster Month in Elora. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned enthusiast, there's always something new to discover in this enchanting festival of lights and laughter. Don't miss your chance to be part of the magic!
