2017 Costume Parade

The Toccoa Main Street program is proud to announce that we will sponsor the downtown Costume Parade again this year!  The parade will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 31, and last approximately one hour and a half.  The children should begin to assemble at 9:45 a.m. (so we may begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.), on West Doyle Street, in front of The Toccoa Record and continue to form the line along the sidewalk at West Doyle Street.  The children will march around the downtown area in costume, as many of the businesses give them “goodies” (bags will be furnished).  Immediately following the parade, refreshments will be served.  Prizes will be awarded in various categories for ages 2, 3, and 4.  We hope you will encourage your children to dress in storybook costumes, as we do not want any children to be afraid.  The parade events should be over by approximately 11:30 a.m.  Each child should have their name and age clearly marked on a nametag to help the judges make their choices. There will be two lines this year. One line will be for those with homemade costumes that want to be judged and one line for those who just want to be in the parade.
