One of Del Ray’s favorite traditions, the 28th Annual Del Ray Halloween Parade, takes place on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 2pm along Mount Vernon Avenue, beginning at E. Bellefonte Avenue. Children, pets, and decorated strollers are invited to march and show off their costumes! This parade ends with live music and an award presentation at the Mount Vernon Rec Center field. This hometown favorite event is a must-see!
