Vienna Halloween Parade Registration Opens For 2019

VIENNA, VA — Registration is open for the Vienna Halloween Parade, which returns for a 73rd year on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. along Maple Avenue.

The Town of Vienna asks parade participants to submit paperwork by Sept. 20. Entries must include a completed registration form, narrative, waiver, and float policy form (if entering a float into competition) with a detailed sketch and description. The application does not guarantee a place in the parade, as participants are chosen based on entertainment value, variety, and adherence to theme and guidelines.

Kids accompanied by adults do not need to register to walk in the parade. Participants should meet at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot at United Bank, 374 Maple Avenue East.

The theme for the 2019 Halloween Parade theme is "Famous Children’s Books and Fairy Tales Brought to Life." The categories for awards are: youth band, float with music, youth performer, antique/classic vehicle, adult band, float without music, and adult performer. Vienna Town Council announces the winners in November.

The parade is held by the Town of Vienna and the Vienna Business Association. For application forms and more information about the parade, visit viennava.gov/halloween.
