A Kiddie Costume Contest for children 12 and under (plus a Best Family Group category) registers 10–10:55 a.m. at the Information Booth, limited to the first 300 entries. The day culminates in the Halloween Parade at 7 p.m., starting at Anaheim Blvd and Broadway, turning down Center St. Promenade and ending at Broadway and West St, with English and Spanish announcers.
