Halloween 2026 Program: The Witch of the Winds
October 17 through November 1, 2026
Publié le 16 september 2026
In the mysterious realm of Sainte-Croix, where legends come to life every fall, an ancient force awakens. At Samhain, the festival of magic and transformation more commonly known to humans as Halloween Tissandra, the Witch of the Winds, crosses the bridge connecting the spirit world and the human world. Her faithful raven, Croa, flying over the land, reveals a disturbing truth to her: the balance between humans and nature is threatened. So Tissandra unleashes her power: she casts a spell over the kingdom, causing five enchanted worlds to emerge. From now on, anyone who wishes to break the spell and escape her grasp must journey through these worlds and overcome four mysterious trials.
