The biggest Halloween events across the region take place this weekend, the most famous and well-attended of which is Rutland’s Halloween Parade, Saturday, Oct. 26, starting at 6:30 p.m. It’s one of the largest and longest running Halloween parades in the U.S., this being its 63rd year!  

This weekend in Rutland it’s the Running Scared 5K at Giorgetti Park. Put on your best costume and join the family-friendly race (which supports the Halloween Parade). 

Another longstanding Halloween tradition is the Pittsford Haunted House, which is hosting its 41st year of scares! It’s open just two more nights: Friday and Saturday, see page 18.

Trunk-or-treat events are also popular. One last Sunday drew 4,000 to downtown Rutland. Killington hosts its Friday.  Also in Killington catch the Wobbly Barn’s party — best costume earns you a season pass!
