Halloween Parade Turns Main Street Into Treat Street

We know that the presidential election is probably stressing out one side or the other, or perhaps both today, so we thought a look at the smiles and joy and unity everyone felt at one of Westport's favorite family events might be a wonderful diversion.

Here are the photos of all the clever, inventive and very cute trick-or-treaters who stormed the Main St. merchants in waves to fill their buckets and bags with Halloween goodies.

In row two above, the photo on the right shows Staples Players who are promoting their upcoming show, ELF The Musical, a hilarious show based upon the contemporary classic film starring Will Ferrell. Santa is being played by Yusef Abdallah and Chloe Carson is playing Jovie.

Seamus Brannigan is playing the lead, Buddy The Elf and he told WestportLocalPress, “it’s one of the most fun roles I have ever played. Seeing the show come together in the rehearsals is getting me more exited than ever for opening night. This family friendly friendly show is great for all ages.”

Tickets are available at www.staplesplayers.com

After storming Main St., the crowd gathered at Veteran's Green for more treats and give-a-ways courtesy of Westport Parks & Recreation, the Police Athletic League and the Westport Downtown Merchant's Association.

The DJ got the crowd dancing in between enjoying the treats everyone received on the way.
