YORK, Pa. — Registration is now open for the 74th Annual York Halloween Parade, organizers said Tuesday.
Commercial and non-profit organizations, high school bands, baton groups or dance studios, and individuals and small groups may register for the event here.
The parade will launch Sunday, Oct. 27, at 2 p.m. from the York Fairgrounds and travel east on Market Street from Richland Avenue to Broad Street.
The parade’s 2024 theme, “Rave from the Grave,” encourages participants to craft entries based on zombies, skeletons, and other traditional Halloween ghouls and spooks.
This year also marks an expansion of the cash prizes for non-profits, who will be eligible for prizes of $1,500, $1,000, and $750 plus three new honorable mention awards of $250 each. Determined by local celebrities, these cash prizes will be awarded based on entries’ creativity in interpreting the parade’s “Rave from the Grave” theme.
In addition, all participating high school bands will receive an $800 stipend, also courtesy of the Arthur J. & Lee R. Glatfelter Foundation.
