The City Island Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Halloween parade Friday night.<\/p>\n
The parade started at 5:30 p.m. at Hawkins Park and traveled down City Island Avenue, ending at Pelham Cemetery.<\/p>\n
The parade lets families celebrate the holiday by trick-or-treating at all the houses along the parade\u2019s path.<\/p>\n
“We bought this house a few years ago and we’re on the parade route…” says Christopher, a life-long City Island resident, “…so we decorate and we always get really into it.”<\/p>\n
Trick-or-treaters of all ages were dressed up to visit the houses. Life-long residents came, along with visitors from hours away. Even pets were dressed for the occasion.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s amazing. It was never this big when we were kids. It’s gotten bigger every year,” Christopher shares.<\/p>\n
“This is the place to be on Halloween,” shared another Bronx resident.<\/p>\n
This is the 33rd year the parade has been held, and it shows no signs of stopping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City Island Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Halloween parade Friday night.
