The “Ghostly Stroll” Halloween Parade and Harvest Festival
(Newburgh IN) The Merchant Committee of Historic Newburgh, Inc. will be hosting the annual Ghostly Stroll Halloween Parade and Trick or Treating October 24th. At 2 pm, The Walking Parade starts at Town Hall Parking Lot (library parking). The streets will be closed so the parade will proceed north on Monroe, east on Jennings, south on State Street and west on Water Street.
Kids, parents, families and pets in costume will parade around the block with the Little Old Dam Band plays the death dirge. There are over 20 categories, for example, the scariest, scariest face, cutest, cutest toddler, cutest cat, cutest dog, funniest, most creative, best group and prettiest costume. Prizes are donated by Downtown businesses. This really is great fun for the entire family. From 2:30-4:30pm, many of the Downtown Newburgh merchants encourage all the little spooks to come trick or treating.
A new twist this year is the addition of the Harvest Festival and Fall Farmers Market along with Free Family Movie Night. From 3 pm – 6 pm, at the Lou Dennis Community Park in the Town of Newburgh, you will enjoy music, food trucks, and games; as well as a Fall Farmers Market. There will be pony rides and face painting.
This all leads up to another Free Family Movie Night! Bring your family at 7 pm to watch Hocus Pocus. Thanks to FC Tucker Emge for sponsoring the WATS bus, and Karol Bryant of ERA, Livewell, Gigi’s Cupcakes and Pump It Up for sponsoring the Free Movie.
Historic Newburgh, Inc. is a non-profit, Main Street organization dedicated to the historic preservation, economic revitalization and sustainability of Downtown Newburgh.
