Newtown Halloween Parade Will Go On (Indoors) If It Rains

UPDATE: Newtown Halloween Parade Moved Indoors Due To Forecast

NEWTOWN, PA — We're not going to let some rain ruin our Halloween fun, but it might just change up the plans a bit.

Saturday, Oct. 27 is the annual Newtown Halloween Parade. The forecast as of Wednesday is calling for heavy rain that day. In the event the forecast is correct, the parade will still go on, it will just happen indoors at the Newtown Theatre, according to organziers.

In the event of inclement weather, participants should gather at the Newtown Theater. Contestants will parade inside the theatre by category. Judging and refreshments will also happen indoors at the theatre.

To find out if the parade is indoors or outside, visit www.newtownhalloweenparade.com when the event gets closer.

Organizers are also encouraging those who plan on attending to register in advance. Online registration is available until Friday evening. In-person registration the day of the event will start at 9 a.m.

If held outdoors, the parade will leave from the Stocking Works, 301 South State St. Newtown and end at the Brian Gregg Park on North Congress Street.
