VERO BEACH – Creativity was key at the City of Vero Beach Recreation Department’s 59th Annual Halloween Parade and Costume Contest, sponsored by Mulligan’s Beach House and the George E. Warren Corporation.
Youngsters and their parents enjoyed a not-so-spooky morning dressed in costumes that included elaborately themed family affairs and simple home-made outfits, traditional witches and werewolves, Disney characters and scallywags, the gruesome and the goofy and everything in between.
Parade participants stopped frequently to pose for photos and selfies as they strolled along 14th Avenue in Historic Downtown Vero Beach, from the staging area at the Vero Beach Women’s Club to the Vero Beach Community Center, where many also competed in the annual costume contest.
All the youngsters went home as winners, clutching goody bags in their hands and looking forward to donning their outfits yet again to go Trick or Treating on Halloween.
