If you’re in or around Kill Devil Hills, mark your calendars for a spooktacular event that’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who’s a fan of Halloween festivities. The 11th Annual Outer Banks Halloween Parade is just around the corner, returning on Sunday, October 27, and it promises to be a delightful day filled with fun and fright!
Set to take place at the lovely Aviation Park, the festivities will kick off at 2 p.m. with a lively trick-or-treating event.

At 3 p.m., the main event, a short walking parade, will commence, where participants of all ages can strut their spooky, silly, or creative costumes down the path.
One of the highlights of the parade is the judging ceremony for the coveted ‘Best in Show’ costume awards. Participants can compete in three different categories, showcasing their most imaginative and outlandish outfits. It’s your chance to see some fantastic costumes, and who knows—you might even be inspired for your Halloween celebration later in the week!
Alongside the costume contest, there will also be an array of decorated vehicles and props on display throughout the park, perfect for those Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. Capture the heart of Halloween with friends and family and take home some memorable snapshots of the day!
