Unleash Your Inner Child At This Michigan Halloween Parade For Adults
Halloween is one of the most anticipated times of the year for people who love all things spooky and paranormal- but, it feels like most of the festivities and fun are reserved for kiddos and families. That's why one Michigan city proudly posts a truly scary Halloween parade designed just for adults.
The Douglas Halloween Parade for Adults has become an iconic event, drawing thousands of Halloween enthusiasts nationwide. Held annually, this unique celebration transforms the streets of Douglas, Michigan into a spooktacular festival exclusively for adults. If you've ever felt like Halloween fun was reserved just for the kids, this parade is your chance to embrace the spirit of the season, don a costume, and celebrate with like-minded adults.
After all, let's be honest- most adults don't get to be in parades as much because unless you're walking with an organization, all of the fun is generally reserved for the kiddos.
Kicking off at 10 p.m., the parade is more than just a spectator event. Anyone in costume can join the fun—no registration required! Participants line up at 9 p.m. in front of the Old School House on Center Street, with local volunteers guiding them into place. As a highlight of the night, the legendary Pumpkin King mascot rises from the ashes to lead the parade, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. But be warned—the Pumpkin King may have to sit it out if the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Rain, sleet, snow, or clear skies, the parade goes on! So come prepared for anything, and leave the kids at home, as this event is designed specifically for adults looking to enjoy Halloween without the little ones. Whether you're walking in the parade or watching from the sidelines, the Douglas Halloween Parade for Adults promises to deliver a night of fun, fright, and festive memories. Join them on October 26th for this year's event!
