COLDWATER, MI (WTVB)- Downtown Coldwater will transform into a spooky celebration this evening, with the return of two beloved community traditions: the annual Halloween Parade and Tibbits Opera House’s Monster Fest.
Halloween Parade is scheduled to step off at 7:30 p.m., the parade route will be West Chicago Street / US12 (between N. Hudson St. and Pierson St.) Coldwater police are reminding motorist streets will be blocked off temporarily and traffic throughout the parade route may be slow.
Centered around this year’s theme, “Urban and Local Legends,” the parade is expected to feature more than 35 entries, including local Girl Scout troops and a unique hot-air balloon basket display from Battle Creek that will blast bursts of fire from its burner. Organizer Tim Farrell will serve as the master of ceremonies, announcing the spectral procession live from Four Corners Park as families gather along the route.
Following the parade, festivities continue at the historic Tibbits Opera House with its annual Monster Fest beginning at 8:00 p.m..
The evening features live music from Sissy SpaceX, live painting by Lanessa Miller, a book signing with Michigan horror author J.C. Vande Zande, and a screening of Peter Jackson’s 1996 film The Frighteners staring Michael J Fox.
