Wild Things: Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 21 and 22:From 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the Richmond Nature Park, 11851 Westminster Highway, it’s that time of year when mischievous racoons, a friendly bear, chatty crows and their forest friends emerge from the Richmond Nature Park bog to greet visitors along a trail lined with hundreds of jack-o-lanterns.

This year’s annual Wild Things event includes some not-too-spooky fun of interacting with witches, scarecrows and pumpkins.

Park at Cambie School and ride on the free Pumpkin Express shuttle to the Nature Park!

Admission is $3 (3-12 years) and $5 (13+ years). Proceeds support the Richmond Nature Park Society’s environmental education programs.

A Little Night Music is full of witty and moving moments of adoration, regrets and desire. Show starts at 8 p.m. at the Gateway Theatre, 6500 Gilbert Rd.
