DC Comics characters, a certain President, and astronauts are all hit costumes for this year’s Halloween, which falls on a Wednesday this year. Here’s our list of where to get Halloween costumes in and around Kitsilano.
Salvation Army
For creatives types, this classic second-hand shop chain is a good economic choice. Rifle through rows of used shirts, pants, dresses, jackets, shoes, and accessories. Sometimes they have ready-made costumes for sale, too.

Just Imagine
Located inside the Kids Market on Granville Island, here you’ll find whatever it is that your little one wants to dress up as this year. They sell adult costumes as well, plus accessories and make-up.

Spirit Halloween
This seasonal pop-up store has a huge variety of costumes for all ages, including all the add-ons. They also have pet costumes, for both cats and dogs, though cats probably aren’t too keen on wearing clothes of any sort…

The Party Bazaar
Since the 1970s, this big shop has always been the place for party supplies and Halloween is no different. Find costumes, accessories, and loads of decorations here for that excellent haunted house party you’re planning.
