Tips on Halloween Parade Placeholders

As the 69th Annual Vienna Halloween Parade approaches, the Town asks for the safety of all, that spectators follow a few common sense rules:

• Do not place any items on Maple Avenue prior to noon on the day of the parade.
• When placing items, do not put them in bus shelters as they need to be clear for bus users during the day. Items placed in bus shelters prior to 5 p.m. on the day of the event may be moved for the safety of bus users.
• Keep items off the sidewalks and benches so that pedestrians can walk and use the benches without having to move or walk over items.
• Secure all items to ensure that weather conditions do not cause them to blow into the roadway or sidewalks.
