Leesburg Kiwanis Club to Host Halloween Wave Parade
Leesburg, VA (October 15, 2020) – Due to the
on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Leesburg
Kiwanis Club will take a new approach to its
annual Halloween parade.
On Saturday, October 31, two wave-parades,
featuring eight decorated vehicles, will travel
through Leesburg neighborhoods, at 9 a.m. and
1 p.m.
Detailed routes are now available on the
Kiwanis’s website. Residents may also choose
to download the “GLYMPSE” application and follow along on their smartphones. The link will be
posted to social media prior to each parade.
Everyone is asked to practice social distancing during the parade. There will be no distribution
of candy. Non-perishable food items, for Loudoun Hunger Relief, will not be collected this year.
Instead, residents are encouraged to make donations online at www.loudounhunger.org.
Leesburg’s Halloween parade is one of the oldest in the eastern United States, first held in
1957. For more information about the event, please email Bob Wright at
rcwright_va@comcast.net or visit www.leesburgkiwanis.org.
