Presented by Triangle Neighbors Association, a branch of the Lake View Citizens' Council, in conjunction with the Northalsted Business Alliance, the iconic annual parade is always guaranteed to be one of the city's most outrageous and imaginative Halloween celebrations.
Thousands are expected to either participate in or view the parade which has quickly grown to become one of the Chicago area's must-attend Halloween events. The parade draws a broad mix of area residents including children and families.
Free registration for the costume contest for children and pets begins at 4:00 p.m. at Space Park located on Roscoe just west of Halsted. Adult and group registration will begin at 4:00 p.m. outside of SPIN nightclub at the northwest corner of Belmont and Halsted.
Winners of the costume contest for kids and pets will be announced immediately after the parade followed later by adult and group contest winners.
There will be thousands of dollars in costume contest cash and prizes! There will also be post-parade musical entertainment.
