46th Annual Halloween Parade – Galena

🎃 Celebrate Halloween in downtown Galena at the 46th Annual Halloween Parade & Festival on Saturday, October 31, from 6:30–8:00 p.m. This beloved annual tradition is one of the largest Halloween celebrations in the Tri-State area, featuring spectacular floats, marching bands, creative costumes, festive performances, and plenty of treats for all ages. Main Street comes alive with thousands of visitors each year, making it one of Galena’s most anticipated fall events.

👻 Admission is free, and families are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the festive atmosphere before the parade begins. Shuttle service from the Walmart parking lot starts at 3:30 p.m., with return service available after the parade. Due to limited downtown parking, visitors are encouraged to use the shuttle or designated overflow parking areas for easier access to the festivities.
