Dress to impress for this annual Coney Island tradition. Festivities begin at 10:00 am with music, magicians, face painting, costumed characters and more. At noon, enter the Halloween Costume Contest. We hear they give extra points for homemade or Coney Island themed costume ideas. Then march down the boardwalk in the parade. The first 1,500 registered participants receive a 2 hour Luna Park unlimited ride wristband and a goodie bag.
