Residents of East Alton and its surrounding neighborhoods were pleased to welcome the annual Halloween Parade to their local streets on Thursday evening. Beginning at 7:00 p.m., the parade began its journey down Main Street at the Shop n’ Save at Wilshire Village. Over 30 floats, vehicles, bands, and other organizations travelled down the mile-long parade route to Shamrock Street, passing by the city municipal building and Community Feed & Seed, and ultimately ended the parade at the American Legion Post #794 on East Alton Avenue.
