Try to avoid Boystown on Sunday afternoon and evening.

That is unless you actually want to participate in the always entertaining North Halsted Halloween Parade, hosted by the Triangle Neighbors.

This year the theme is, “Little Street of Horrors.” We’re positive you will never see more flamboyant, over the top, entertaining and creative costumes anywhere in Chicago.

This is the 14th year of the parade, and for the first time, floats will be allowed in the parade, which will mean more extensive street closures than in previous years.

Both side streets and main thoroughfares around Boystown will be closed Sunday afternoon until 10 PM.

STREET CLOSURES AND NO-PARKING ON SUNDAY

Roscoe Street – from Halsted to Space Park just passed the alley (12 PM – 10 PM)
Halsted Street – from Belmont north to Addison (2 PM – 10 PM)
