October is nearly halfway over, which means it’s time for the Tamaqua Halloween Parade.

This year’s event, hosted by the Tamaqua Lions Club, will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 22. The parade has been a staple of Tamaqua for over 50 years. This year’s Grand Marshal is Matt Hope, of Hope’s Collision & 24 Hour Towing.

Get the kids ready to catch some candy in those trick-or-treat buckets, as more than 100 floats and trucks are expected to be at the parade. The registration deadline is Oct. 17.

For more information, visit the Tamaqua Halloween Facebook page, or call 570-778-6663.

The rain date is tentatively set for Oct. 23.
