Doylestown Planning Halloween Parade for Kids and Dogs

Don’t pack away the Halloween costumes right after trick-or-treating this year—you’ll need them for Doylestown’s first Spooktacular Parade, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 1.

The event, hosted by the Doylestown Alliance and the Discover Doylestown Committee, will kick off at 11 a.m.

“Keep the Halloween Fun going! Please join The Merchants of Doylestown on Saturday 11/1 at 11:00 am for a fun-filled Kids and Dogs Spooktacular Parade! We’ll assemble at the Pine Street parking lot (at the intersection of Pine & State Sts.) and then stroll down State Street, turning left on Main Street and ending in the Doylestown Historical Society Park for costume judging and treats,” according to an announcement posted to Doylestown Patch’s bulletin board.

Categories include funniest child costume, funniest dog costume, most creative child costume, most creative dog costume, and best child-dog team costume.

The parade is open to children ages 2 to 10 years and friendly, well-socialized dogs of all ages, organizers said.

Participants should bring two boxes of character Band-Aids, which will be donated to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.

Costume judges include Mayor Ron Strouse, Ron Martin, Larry Browne and Dr. Doyle Walton.
