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.
Jack-o-lantern house
This is the aforementioned house at night. I don’t think they quite made it up to one jack-o-lantern a day this year. Perhaps they also counted the bats hanging on the porch to get to the correct number of days.
Halloween, Granite Street
Photo taken October 2004
Granite Street in Ashland is famous for its catering to trick or treaters. Many houses get very decked out. One in particular (shown in tomorrow’s entry) turns into a haunted mansion. Children are invited in for a tour by the witch on the porch. Only some come back out. Expect to hear some screams.
Halloween is coming…
While the upcoming election has taken over the front yards of most houses in town, Halloween is winning the battle in this home’s front yard on Siskiyou Boulevard.
