Info for Spectators

The Parade runs down Maple Avenue (Route 123) from Branch Road to Center Street. The route is approximately ½ mile long and lasts 1 ½-2 hours. Please note that the Vienna Halloween Parade is held rain or shine!

If you haven't been to the Vienna Halloween Parade before, you're in for a treat! Begun in the 1940s by the Vienna Businessman's Association (now the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce), the Parade was originally a gathering of local kids so they could show off their costumes to the Town of Vienna. Even now that the Parade draws big name entertainment and a crowd of ten of thousands, the costumed children are still a key element-- they gather at 6:30pm at Virginia Commerce Bank and lead the Parade down Maple Ave. (Click here for more information on participating with the "Costumed Kids")

Our theme for this year's parade is: "Pride of Vienna -- Sportsmanship through Players, Coaches and Fans." Our Grand Marshalls will be Mark Meana and Bill Cervenak.
