BIG NEWS for the 2026 parade!
We can’t wait to celebrate the 12th Annual Arts in the Dark Halloween Parade on October 24, 2026!
BIG NEWS: We are moving the parade back to its original location on Columbus Drive! We have outgrown the State Street footprint, so the parade will take place on Columbus Drive moving north from Balbo to Jackson.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this magical parade with the backdrop of the Chicago skyline and Buckingham Fountain!
