Las Vegas Halloween Parade- Cancelled 2015

There wont' be a Halloween Parade in Las Vegas this year, due to budget restraints and the fact that it is on a Saturday. With over 70,000 people coming out to view the spooky site last year, the anticipated growth of projected attendance this year could not be supported by current financing. Flyingpan Productions LLC has produced the parade since 2000 and hope to be back next year. "The 6th annual Las Vegas Halloween Parade has been canceled, according to its founder Cory Mervis."
