Main Street

Join us for one of Woburn’s most beloved fall traditions—the Woburn Host Lions Halloween Parade—and help make a meaningful difference for sight-saving research.
Each year, on the last Sunday in October, Main Street comes alive with families, children, bands, floats, costumes, and community spirit. More than 30,000 people gather to celebrate “Parade Sunday,” reconnect with neighbors, and enjoy a true New England homecoming atmosphere.
Bring your ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses, friends, and family to Main Street in Woburn at 1:00 p.m.—rain or shine. Arrive early for the best curbside view as the parade begins near Crowne Plaza/Showcase Cinema, travels south through Woburn Center, continues onto Lake Avenue at the Winchester line, and ends at Horn Pond. The 2.2-mile route typically takes about 90 minutes from start to finish.
Your presence matters—and so does your generosity. The Woburn Host Lions use this parade to raise funds for the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund, supporting vital research that helps protect and restore vision. Please consider making a donation, large or small, when you attend. Every contribution helps advance the Lions’ mission of service and assist to improve the life of those affected by vision loss.
