Woburn Lions Plan Halloween Parade

WOBURN, MA — Woburn will get another chance to enjoy the Halloween spirit this weekend with the return of the Woburn Host Lions Club’s annual Halloween Parade.

The event is set for Sunday, Oct. 30, beginning at 1 p.m. to then run along the traditional Halloween Parade route along Main Street.

Long a Woburn tradition, the parade is marking its 68th year this weekend. The parade regularly draws over 80,000 attendees, according to organizers, featuring bands, floats and other groups.

The Halloween Parade runs as a fundraiser for the Woburn Host Lions, with proceeds going to the nonprofit Lions Eye Research Foundation, as noted in a recent announcement from Lions organizers.

The Lions are accepting donations to support the event.

Band, float and group registration is also ongoing at the link here.

Plans for this weekend's Halloween Parade will cap a slate of busy Halloween programming for the Lions. The group ran its Monster Dash road race earlier this month. Its annual scarecrow contest then wrapped up on Friday, with winning scarecrows set to be back on display for the Halloween Parade.

The Woburn Police shared an update on Halloween Parade plans on Monday, confirming that vehicle traffic will be banned along Main Street for the duration of the parade.
