Hey Toronto expats and digital nomads! If you’ve been pining for some last-minute Halloween fun, get ready for a sweet surprise in Honest Ed’s Alley. Starting this Wednesday, October 28, between 3 and 6 p.m., you can head over and pick up a free pumpkin while supplies last. It’s a perfect opportunity to add some festive flair to your home or simply enjoy the cozy atmosphere of this unique alleyway.

Located between Markham Street and Bathurst Street, Honest Ed’s Alley has transformed into Pumpkin Alley for a day.
