Organizers Release Details Of OKC's Halloween Parade

Halloween is still a few weeks away. But if you are already making plans to celebrate, one of Oklahoma City’s most popular celebration is making a comeback this year and organizers have released details of the event.

The Oklahoma City Halloween Parade, “A Celebration of the Arts & Creativity,” will take place at 7 p.m. October 31 on Automobile Alley with floats, marching bands, unique automobiles, inflatables and walking groups. Event organizers have added pre and post parade activities, including a kids haunted house with candy and Zombie Ball. Both the parade and all related events will all take place on Automobile Alley.

The parade will step off N. Broadway Avenue beginning at N.W. 13th Street, ending on N.W. 4th Street. Some of the floats will return to Auto Alley as static displays for the costume party/Zombie Ball. 

Entry fees for the parade are $100, and the new event organizers have announced that 100 percent of all entry fees will be donated to Allied Arts to support local arts organizations.  Prizes will be awarded by the judges to the best entries.  Original piece of art created by OKC artist will be handed out to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

Organizers said the parade will have a more family-friendly feel this year with children expected to march in the procession.  Candy will be handed out by parade participants as they make their way down Automobile Alley.

The “Zombie Ball” costume party will take place in Auto Alley immediately following the parade. The post parade events will include bands, static displays, entertainment, food and beverages.

The parade will be televised on local television this year.
