The Cedar Rapids Halloween Parade is baccckk and it promises to be even better than the inaugural parade last fall! This year's parade is happening on a Saturday... that alone should add to the fun as everyone won't be rushing home to get the kids in order to make it on time. That weekend will feature a variety of Halloween-themed events in Cedar Rapids.

Saturday morning, the Czech Village hosts a "Spooky Trick or Treat" and beginning at mid-afternoon there's a "Creep Kid Zone" and "Freaky Family Costume Contest." Following the 6:30 parade, a "Crawl-O-Ween" Beer Crawl visits five different establishments. You can see the weekend schedule HERE.
