Vancouver Halloween Costume Shops

Whatever you’re doing this Halloween—whether you’re partying the night away at the Parade of Lost Souls Dance Party, heading to one of the Top 10 Vancouver Halloween Attractions, or just showing up to your at-work event—chances are you need a Halloween costume.

If you’re like me, and thus completely hopeless at do-it-yourself sewing and costume-making, you need props and clothes from a Vancouver Costume Shop. Use this list to find the best, most creative costume shops in town, but go early: I once waited until the last minute to find something at Party Bazaar and had to wait in a line that wrapped around the block!
