What could be better than a parade?  A nighttime parade, with all marchers in Halloween costumes!  Bloomfield’s annual Family Night Halloween parade is on Thursday, October 29th, starting at 7:30 pm.  The parade route runs along Liberty Avenue starting at Aspen Street and going to the Bloomfield Bridge, and they predict about 2,000 marchers.  That’s a lot of Halloween costumes!

And truly, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen a high school marching band playing “Pinball Wizard”–dressed not in band uniforms, but as monsters, princesses, ballerinas, zombies…you get the idea.  It’s great.

Here’s more information about the Bloomfield Halloween parade.
