The North Fairhaven Improvement Association held its 76th annual Halloween Horribles Parade at Livesey Park on Saturday, 10/24/26.
Costumed children of all ages and sizes marched around the park and then created a circle in the field for the judges to pick the winners.
Lots of gnomes from the NFIA helped keep things in order as different age groups circle around and around.
NFIA President Andrew Romano thanked a long list of people who donated candy, the hot chocolate, lighting and time to make sure the event was completely free to participants. Winners got a goody bags with candy.
The NFIA is a membership organization that meets once a month at 267 Adams St., Fairhaven. Find them on Facebook to learn more.
