Here is What’s On in Medicine Hat this weekend: October 30- November 1

Oct 30, 2026 | 1:13 PM

Halloween weekend is upon us, with several haunted houses and spooky activities across Medicine Hat to keep you busy.

Environment Canada is forecasting a cloudy start to Friday, with a 30 per cent chance of flurries around noon and a risk of freezing drizzle. Fog patches are expected to clear early in the afternoon, with a high of 4 C. Skies will remain mainly cloudy at night, with a chance of drizzle this evening before rain showers move in overnight. There’s also a risk of freezing rain, with temperatures dropping to minus 2.

Saturday is looking a little brighter, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 8 C. Sunday will be cloudy, with periods of rain overnight and a high of 7 C during the day.

So, keep an eye out for some slippery conditions tonight, but Saturday should bring a bit of a break before the rain returns Sunday night.

Here is what’s on this weekend in Medicine Hat.
