While we love the enthusiasm and anticipation for the upcoming Halloween Parade next Saturday, please refrain from placing chairs along Main Street until the day of the parade!! They are a hazard to vehicles parked along the street.
Why does the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club put on this fantastic parade year after year? All you need to do is walk down Main Street and see the hundreds of kids all dressed in costumes and excitedly waiting for the first float to come by. It's a magical night that brings the greater Medford community together and has grown to attract 30,000 spectators and participants. With marching bands and cheerleaders, princesses and fireman, the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Halloween parade is a family friendly event not to be missed.
The Parade starts at 7:00 pm on Saturday, October 29th. Main Street closes to traffic at 6:00pm. The 1 mile long parade starts at the float staging ground located at St. Mary's of the Lakes School and continues East onto Fire House Lane then turns right onto Main Street and continues south to Maurice and Everett Haines School.
