Nothing frightful about the gathering for the 95th annual Anaheim Halloween Parade

by in News

For the 95th year the Anaheim community gathered for the Halloween Parade.

The parade, which had waned in popularity in the last few decades, has made a resurgence the last several years. Neighbors lined the streets in downtown, many in their own costumes, to watch as floats, marching bands, community leaders and others passed by.

Earlier in the day there was trick-or-treating, costume contests and other fun at the nearby afternoon festival.
