Patch Picks: Swissvale Halloween Parade, Edgewood Fall Fest & Pet Costume Party

Kick off Halloween right this weekend!

It’s about that time to break out the costumes, candy and spooky music for a fun-filled Halloween, but before the official evening arrives, we’ve got a few events that will help you to get in the mood for the scariest holiday of the year!

Start off this weekend with the Halloween Parade on Saturday, which starts at the intersection of Rosyln and Woodstock (around the corner from ). The line up is at 11:45 a.m. with the parade beginning at noon. Don’t forget to take pictures of the kids and submit them in our nationwide Halloween costume contest with Heidi Klum! You can submit your photos

Patch will whisk the winner to New York or Los Angeles for a two-day, three-night trip for two that includes a meet and greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1,031 to a local charity of the winner's choice. Nine runners up will also get a $1,031 donation from Patch to a local charity of their choice. Entering is easy. Just upload a photo of your child, 12 years of age or younger, in his or her Halloween costume. Entries must be made by the parent or legal guardian (age 18 or older) of the child photographed.
