About this event
Get Ready for a Spooktacular Day of Fall Fun in Centralia! https://centraliahalloweenparade.com/ Join us in historic downtown Centralia for the Annual Halloween Parade and Fall Festival — a cherished tradition that's been delighting families for nearly a century! The festivities kick off bright and early at 9:00 a.m. with a folksy Craft Fair, bustling Flea Market, and eye-catching Car Show. Bring the kids for free games and activities, sample mouthwatering bites at the Chili Cook-Off, and enjoy live local entertainment throughout the day. At 10:30 a.m., little ghouls and goblins can show off their costumes in our Children’s Costume Contest, followed by the Children’s Parade at 11:00 a.m. — all ages welcome! As night falls, the excitement builds for the Main Parade at 7:00 p.m., rolling down Poplar Street with dazzling floats, marching bands, and mechanized marvels. Stick around after the parade to cheer on your favorites as we announce category winners and award trophies at the judges' stand (302 S. Poplar Street). It’s a full day of festive fun, fantastic food, and unforgettable memories. So gather the family, don your costumes, and join us for one of Centralia’s most magical days of the year! The 99th Annual Halloween Parade will be held on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 7:00pm. PARADE REGISTRATION PDF
