The parade will step off North Broadway Avenue beginning at NW 13 Street, ending on NW 4 Street. Some of the floats will return to Auto Alley as static displays for the costume party/Zombie Ball.
Entry fees for the parade are $100, and the new event organizers have announced that 100 percent of all entry fees will be donated to Allied Arts to support local arts organizations. Prizes will be awarded by the Judges to the best entries. Original piece of art created by OKC artist will be handed out to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
The parade will have a more family friendly feel this year with children expected to march in the procession. Candy will be handed out by parade participants as they make their way down Automobile Alley.
The “Zombie Ball” costume party will take place in Auto Alley immediately following the parade. The post parade events will include bands, static displays, entertainment, food and beverages.
The parade will be televised on local television this year. The festivities will be taped and rebroadcast the following week for fans and participants to enjoy. Volunteers are encouraged and welcome.
For the second straight year parade organizers include former television news anchor and host Brent Skarky and longtime community leader and event organizer Mike McAuliffe.
