Hocus Pocus Halloween Parade and Halloweekend

Description

The Beacon Chamber of Commerce is super excited to bring back the Hocus Pocus Halloween
Parade this year. Not only are we hosting a parade, but a whole weekend filled with magic and
fun!

This is a family-friendly event, open to all ages, where we will all dress up in costume and march
down Main Street from Bank Square to the dummy light.

Friday through Sunday, you are invited to take part in The Black Cat Scavenger Hunt and
Costume Contest!

The first participating store you go to, will give you a Hocus Pocus Care Package, which will
include your Hocus Pocus Passport, a Trick or Treating Bag, a numbered pin for the Costume
Contest, a list of participating stores and Halloweekend Specials that stores will be offering
throughout the weekend! Business owners are the judges of the Costume Contest so be sure to
show them your good side!

You will find participating stores throughout Main Street by locating an Orange Pumpkin in their
window. Find the pumpkin, and then locate the “Black Cat” within the store. Maybe it’s high, or
maybe it’s low, only those who take on the challenge will know! Once you find the Black Cat,
you will receive a stamp on your Hocus Pocus Passport. The more stamps you earn, the more
prizes you win!
