Today’s Vancouver tots are all about rocking cool looks year-round, and Halloween is no exception. We put together a little roundup of some of the hippest Vancouver-inspired costumes for your little ones to sport on October 31st.
TASTY TREATS
Sushi
Pay homage to Vancouver’s amazing sushi offerings by transforming your little one into a California roll or a piece of sockeye nigiri.
Japadog
Jazz up a run of the mill hot dog costume by adding some strips of nori and Japanese mayo to replicate one of our city’s unique culinary treasures, Japadog!
Donut
Donuts are definitely the new cupcake. Your little sweetie can go as an earl grey donut from Cartem’s, an old fashioned from Lucky’s, or a classic Timbit.

LOCAL WILDLIFE
Olympic Village Beaver
Did you know we have a family of urban beavers living in and around Olympic Village? They’re pretty much local celebrities. Send out your own East Van or Yaletown beaver trick-or-treating.
Local Whale
Shout out to all the whales that call Vancouver home by outfitting your baby as an orca or a gray whale, or one of the resident belugas from the Vancouver Aquarium.
Grouse Mountain Grizzly
Who doesn’t love a baby in a bear costume? Drop in to visit the two rescued grizzlies on the top of Grouse Mountain for inspiration.
MINI ATHLETES
GranFondo cyclist
A bike ride from Vancouver to Whistler is almost as exhausting as a night of trick-or-treating in the rain. Suit up your tiny athlete in a cycling kit; don’t forget a helmet!
Vancouver Marathon runner
Your tot will be ready to sprint from house to house in this easy to make costume. A sweat suit, headband, sneakers and a medal complete the look.
Tiny scuba diver
There aren’t many things cuter than a tiny scuba diver. Two litre bottles painted silver become oxygen tanks; just add a snorkeling mask. Look out, Porteau Cove!
