The parade marched along Chicago's hottest
entertainment street (Halsted from Belmont to Cornelia) and is
one of the city's most renowned Halloween events. We
estimated 40,000 spectators witnessed this creative, fun and
entertaining event for the community. As in past years, we
saw costumes from garish to ghoulish worn by adults,
pets, and kids. The costume contest has been a huge success and
we anticipate imaginations to run wild again this year.
Sponsors are donating cash and prizes. New this year, judges
will select a handful of top entries in various categories and
the audience voted on the winner who received a pair of tickets
on American Airlines to anywhere in the United States plus other
cash and prizes.
