Ashland Halloween Parade on the Plaza
This photo is from the 2008 parade. If you get tired of looking at costumes you can always check out the fall foliage. For some of my 2009 Halloween photos (not of Ashland since I’m living in Tokyo for the year) click here.
All things Ashland
This picture has so many Ashlandish things in it, from the Ashland Drug Store to the OSF heraldic banners, from the vampires to the psycho pushing a stroller. It’s all here.
Halloween costume selection
Which party in the happy couple in the middle of this photo do you think chose their costume first?
Pac-man
Japanese wedding or Halloween parade? PacMan doesn’t seem to like to eat Wario and pirates as much as dots and ghosts.
Boo!
It’s the season for spooks. This is from last year’s Halloween children’s parade put on by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce. Everyone gathers at 3:15 in front of the library to begin a march to the plaza.
Ashland Halloween Parade at the library
October is now upon us so let’s look back to last year’s Halloween parade. Here we find everyone gathering in front of the library to begin the parade. The guy in the Flash Gordon costume was really funny. He ran up and down the street looking just like the real thing.
Ashland Halloween Parade 2008
Thousands participate in the afternoon parade that descends on the downtown plaza area of town. The merchants give out candy to trick or treaters. If you want a break from the masses of people just follow the sign to the right and you’ll be in Lithia Park which looks really good this time of year.
Vampires for Obama
Ashland is a popular town for holidays. People come from all of Oregon (and even California) to participate on the 4th of July and Halloween. The parties go all night long.
Halloween festivities kick off with the Ashland Parade beginning at the library at 3:15. Everyone marches to the city center from there and downtown remains pretty crowded until 3 or 4 in the morning, 12 hours later.
In the next few days I’ll show you a few pictures. Today I’ll even include a video so you can hear and almost feel the atmosphere.
