Marlborough Road Closing Due To Ghouls, Goblins, And Maybe Witches

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Marlborough's annual Horribles Parade will take over the downtown area Thursday evening, and police are closing a main road for the event.

Between 4 and 6:30 p.m., Main Street will be closed between Bolton and West Main streets, according to Marlborough police. A detour will take drivers around the downtown area via Granger Boulevard.

"If you're traveling this way, please take it slow as children, ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and parents will be on foot in the area," police said.

During the Horribles Parade, residents in costumes will travel from the Main Street fire station through the downtown area. Businesses downtown will participate by offering trick-or-treating starting at around 4:30 p.m. The parade itself starts at 5:30 p.m.
