In addition to our long-standing annual traditions, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Downtown Bristol Halloween Parade! The parade will begin at 7:00pm. The parade route will begin at the municipal lot in front of Bristol TN City Hall (801 Anderson Street) and conclude at the intersection of State Street and Lee Street/5th Street. The route spans approximately 0.5 miles. We invite anyone interested in participating to register below!

The Bristol TN/VA Inaugural Halloween Parade will feature two distinct categories of participants, allowing for diverse and enjoyable experiences for all attendees. Parade entrants will self-categorize their entries as either "Fun & Festive" or "Scary & Macabre" to indicate the nature of their costumes and performances. Costumes falling under the "Fun & Festive" category are designed to be suitable for all ages, emphasizing creativity, humor, and the spirit of Halloween without overly scary or frightening elements. The "Scary & Macabre" category delves into the darker and more sinister side of Halloween, featuring haunting costumes inspired by horror, the supernatural, and the macabre. 

​

We are currently recruiting for both categories of the parade. However, space is limited and we will be selecting candidates in the coming weeks to ensure a night of high-quality entertainment for our community.
