Sights And Sounds From The Vienna Halloween Parade: Photos, Videos

VIENNA, VA — There's only a handful of times Maple Avenue closes to vehicular traffic. One of those times is the Vienna Halloween Parade, an annual town tradition held Wednesday.

The 76th annual parade had a theme of "Time Machine: Vienna in the past, present and future," drawing floats and performances themed after past decades. Costumed children and others were also invited to march in the parade and did not need to pre-register.

Parade entrants will be considered for awards decided by judges — Youth Band, Float with Music, Float without Music, Youth Performers, Adult Performers, and Antique Vehicles. The parade reviewing stage was located at the Town Green between Center and Park Streets. Winners will be announced at the Nov. 14 Vienna Town Council meeting.

The grand marshal was Leigh Kitcher, who has been involved for decades of volunteering in Vienna with leadership roles in Historic Vienna, Inc., the Ayr Hill Garden Club and the National Capital Area Garden Club and helped the town coordinate its first Liberty Amendments Month.

The parade was approximately a half-mile long, starting on Maple Avenue at Branch Road and turning on Center Street S to conclude.

Below is a video with highlights from the parade, as well as photos. A full video of the parade is available on the Town of Vienna's YouTube.
