For the Bronx Halloween Parade

The Bronx Community Board #2 is looking for a great Press Release Celebrating the return of the Annual Bronx Halloween Parade. In 1985, a group of individuals under the leadership of Father Louis Gigante began this yearly tradition of celebrating our community by taking back the streets on Halloween. What started from a small group of children has grown into the second largest Halloween Parade in New York City. Each year, the parade has a particular theme that captures the spirit of Halloween. The parade has attracted many New York politicians including Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. Council member for the 17th District of the New York City Council Rafael Salamanca, as well as many political candidates running for office and looking for voters in local, state and national elections. The Bronx Community Board #2 proudly presents the return of the Annual Bronx Halloween Parade. Saturday October 23rd, 2021 at 12pm All ages are welcome at this Halloween parade! The theme this year is Day of The Soul - Celebrating Our Loved Ones. There will be special prizes for toddlers, and cash prizes for kids ages 4 to 17, adults 18 and up, over 55 senior categories. The costume judging will take place after the parade, along with showcasing of bands and distribution of candy for all children! Parade begins at Simpson Street, between East 163rd Street and Westchester Avenue, and ends at Tiffany Plaza in front of St. Athanasius Church. Join us in the fun.
