We’re excited to announce the 13th
Annual Triangle Neighbors' Northalsted Halloween Parade on Saturday, October 31, 2009 at
6PM
with pre-parade festivities beginning at 4PM.
(NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME!)
The costume parade has become the city’s most renowned Halloween event drawing
thousands of spectators. It’s a creative, fun and entertaining event for the
entire community that raises funds for our community garden park. And a
Saturday parade means a huge crowd so we’ve extended the parade route
north to Addison (versus stopping at Cornelia). We're excited to announce
Miss Foozie has agreed to emcee the parade
(as the Queen of Hearts)
and the Chicago Spirit Brigade will march and perform!
As in past years, we expect to see
costumes from garish to ghoulish-worn by adults, kids and pets. The costume
contest has been a huge success and we anticipate imaginations to run wild again
this year! The theme of the 2009 Parade is "Mad Hatters' Ball".
The parade is completely free.
