Parade of Lost Souls 2013: Vancouver's annual Halloween Parade

Dec 19 2017, 4:31 pm

Vancouver’s annual Halloween parade in the Commercial Drive neighbourhood is back as the Parade of Lost Souls! It takes place on the last Saturday before Halloween.

It’s the only Halloween parade in Metro Vancouver and probably one of few across the country.

Years ago, the parade was much larger along Commercial Drive. However, due to budget cuts the parade no longer goes down Commercial Drive. If you’re interested in reading why, here is our article on the funding issues facing the Vancouver arts community.

So as the night sky takes over, the procession will commence as attendees will walk the ghoulish streets of East Vancouver and take part in one of this city’s great cultural, grass roots celebrations, The Parade of Lost Souls.
