This Saturday!! The Grant Park Parent Network's Halloween Parade and Festival offer a great opportunity for the kids to dress up in their best costumes – be it fairy, dragon, witch or Bob the Builder – and march proudly through the park, while mom and dad try to keep up!
This Year's Starting Point:
Line up for the parade between 3:45 & 4:00 pm behind the concrete pillars at the park entrance on the Boulevard side of the Zoo
parking lot.
The parade will go through the park to the street area below the playground near the Milledge fountain entrance where there will be lots of fun, food and games! Please come out and bring your little ones dressed in their favorite costumes and enjoy hot dogs, baked goods, field day games, storytelling, pumpkin painting and more!

We still need some volunteers for this Saturday's Halloween Parade & Festival. Please choose a shift or a task and email
