Spooky Jane’s Walk returns in October with candlelit tours, historic cemeteries, true terrible tales, and eerie neighbourhood events in Kingsville, Windsor, and Amherstburg.

​

Tickets for each walk are $25 and proceeds will ensure the 2027 spring Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk festival remains free and accessible. It will help fund festival infrastructure, purchase new equipment, and enhance accessibility.
 

The Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk Festival, held each spring, is a volunteer-driven event offering free, public walking tours, building tours, and seated presentations that showcase the region’s architectural, cultural, historical, and environmental diversity. In 2026, the festival hosted 60 free events over two weekends, making it one of the largest Jane’s Walk festivals in Canada.​
