You can pick them up starting at 7:15 p.m. at the Caffi Field Pitching Lanes, located on Cherry Street SE (right between the Community Center and the Fire Department). This is to say, it’s a sweet way to make the evening even more special for them.
Vienna Halloween Parade Celebrating “Broadway on Maple”
This isn’t just any parade—it’s the 79th year of this wonderful tradition! To clarify, to make this year truly unforgettable, the theme is “Broadway on Maple.” It’s a perfect theme that brings a touch of theatrical elegance and artistry right to our neighborhood. Specifically, this celebration is a graceful nod to the talented theatre arts groups right here in Vienna, celebrating the creativity that makes our community so vibrant. We are proud to share that Eric Storck of the Vienna Theatre Company will be leading the celebration as this year’s parade marshal.
Consequently, this “Broadway on Maple” theme is a perfect invitation to enjoy an evening of performance, imagination, and refined community fun. It’s a chance to see our town’s main street transformed into a stage for one magical night, and we are so excited to see how everyone interprets this fantastic theme.
