Join us for the Halloween Pet Parade in Volunteer Park! We are excited to see the clever costumes and adorable animals.
8-Bit Brass Band will be leading the parade! There will be a craft booth for kids, vendor wares to peruse, and food trucks. Please check back in for the event schedule.
No reservation is necessary, but tickets can be reserved via Eventbrite so we have an estimated number of attendees.
