This family-friendly event features creative floats, costumed school children, local marching bands, community groups and more – all decked out in Halloween flair. Whether you’re marching, volunteering, or watching from the sidelines, the Pittsfield Halloween Parade is a can’t-miss event that captures the heart and imagination of the city.
