The 23rd annual Mystics of Mountain Brook Halloween Parade is set for Friday, Oct. 31, beginning at 4 p.m. in Crestline Village.

Started in 2002 by Mountain Brook siblings Trent Wright and Casey Wright Horn, the Mardi Gras-style event has grown into a community-wide tradition featuring more than 20 floats, music, candy, beads, Moon Pies and more than 2,000 T-shirts thrown to the crowd.

“It’s just a really cool thing that brings families together before they all go out to trick-or-treat,” Wright said.

What began as a single decorated car has evolved into a city spectacle drawing more than 5,000 attendees. Neighborhood groups and families organize themed floats, which are judged in front of City Hall for creativity and presentation. Winners receive prizes donated by local businesses.
