What is the Parade route?

I live on the parade route. What do I need to know?

• We’d love to have you decorate your front yard to add to the Halloween spirit! We are hoping to have lots of lighted and glowing decorations around the neighborhood to help illuminate the Parade route and add to the overall spookiness!
• You do not need to move your car. There will not be any large floats or vehicles in this year’s Parade, so there will not be any parking restrictions. If you are worried about your car being along the route, we do suggest you find an alternative parking situation for the evening.

My business would like to sponsor the Halloween Parade/GTAAC

The Georgetown Halloween Parade couldn’t happen without the support of our local community, which includes many local business and community organization sponsors. We are always looking for local sponsors to provide both monetary or in-kind donations to help us grow and continue this event. Sponsors will be included in our Parade marketing material as well as on signage in the Parade itself. GTAAC is also a non-profit organization, so any donations to us are tax deductible!
