Here is what’s going down during the week of 10/21/2021 – 10/27/2021
THE GREAT BOYERTOWN HALLOWEEN PARADE!
The sounds of marching bands and sirens wailing, as flashing lights bounce off buildings, while ghosts and ghouls and princesses and pirates dance through the streets, with cheers for candy calling from every child lining the sidewalks… this is the Boyertown Halloween Parade! Though there was a mysterious disappearance of this extraordinary event last year, the parade is back for it’s 68th year! The festivities will begin this Saturday, Oct. 23 at 7PM.
WRFY (102.5 FM) will be the MC for the parade this year. They, along with the judges, will be located at the front side of the Friendship Hook and Ladder Fire Company on Third and Warwick streets.
DO NOT place blankets, chairs, or other items on the sidewalks, along the parade route before Friday at 7 p.m. or they will be removed and disposed of by the Borough of Boyertown.
Prize money and trophies will be awarded to the top four floats, drill & baton unit, scouting unit, costumed group, individual, and most original. All youth who participate in the parade will receive treat bags with candy and coupons from local businesses.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL driving, walking, and moving about in the community on the night of the parade, and PLEASE BE PATIENT with others. The volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic the night of the parade is exceptionally high. There are many children, older individuals, and others walking. Also, please make donations for the parade to the Parade Association ONLY. There has been a problem with unauthorized groups asking for donations over past recent years.
This year’s parade route will be the same. The route will begin at Second and Madison streets, north to Philadelphia Avenue, west on Philadelphia Avenue to south on Reading Avenue, to S. Warwick Street, left onto E. Second, left onto S. Washington, right onto E. 3rd Street, south on Monroe to go up 2nd Street, left onto Franklin.
