Get ready, all of you ghosts, ghouls and goblins out there. Ocean City is about to treat everyone to a monstrously good time with its 71st annual Halloween Parade.
The colorful procession of costumed children, bands, floats and entertainers will roll down Asbury Avenue from Sixth Street to 11th Street starting at 7:15 p.m. Thursday.
The event is sponsored by the Ocean City Exchange Club. Great spots to catch all of the action will be on either side of Asbury Avenue in the downtown shopping district.
Late registration for participants in the parade will be available at a table staffed from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on parade night at Sixth Street and Asbury Avenue in front of GG’s Diamond Tailor Shop. For more information, call 800-813-5580 or visit ochp.blogspot.com.
