Halloween Festival and Parade

A Spooktacular Event where children with their parents participate in the parade, costume contests for humans and their furry friends and trick-or-treating at participating local businesses. Don't miss out on the classic BOO-tiful Glen Ellyn tradition!

9:30am - Halloween Parade Staging
All are welcome! The parade participants and families meet at the Glenwood Station Lot (corner of Main St and Crescent Blvd), which is the parade staging area. We will parade east to Forest Ave and then head north on Forest Ave before circling the block via Pennsylvania Ave and ending on Main St. for crafts, games and spooktacular fun.

9:45am - Halloween Parade Steps Off
Parade participants march in the parade following the Glenbard West Drumline. Community members line the street to cheer them on! See Parade map for route details.

10:00am - 1:00pm: Crafts, Games and Trick-or-Treat
Enjoy Halloween Games and Crafts at the end of the parade route on Main St. Stick around for costume contests and trick-or-treating throughout the downtown business area. Take a look at the decorated windows painted by the scouts as you meander.
