Halloween parade

Spooky street procession

A Halloween parade is a public procession held around October 31st, typically featuring participants in costume, floats, and festive displays.

These range from small community events with costumed children to elaborate productions like New York City's Village Halloween Parade, which draws tens of thousands of participants and spectators.

We watched the Halloween parade from the sidewalk.
