A maze of hay bales greets the kids upon entrance to the 2025 Halloween Walking Parade in Allentown, Nov. 1.

Positioned directly in front of the statue in the center of downtown Allentown, the event’s DJ spins Halloween-themed tunes, creating a dance floor for all to display their moves.

With the Lehigh County Government Center nearby, Lehigh County Commissioner Chair Geoff Brace hands out candy as the force is with him.

Creative young parade-goers paint and decorate pumpkins along the route.

Representatives from the Lehigh Carbon Community College hand out goodies and share information about the educational opportunities available.
