The Alliance hopes to line Main Street with Jack o'Lanterns on Halloween Night. Drop off your carved pumpkins from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, at the River Garden on Main Street. Enter for “Best in Show” prizes and be part of their candlelit evening.
At 6 p.m., the Brattleboro Recreation and Parks Department and the Brattleboro Police Department present the annual Horribles Parade. All “ghosts, goblins, witches, scarecrows, and what-have-yous” should meet down in the Brattleboro Food Co-op Parking lot on the Whetstone Pathway by 6 p.m. Park in the public lots/garage on Flat Street.
The parade will begin at 6 p.m. sharp, and go up Main Street to the Gibson-Aiken Center for costume judging, prizes, goodie bags, and more.
